CHICAGO MASTER PLAN

CBT/SOM 

Chicago Master Plan offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to transform an underutilized area of the City into a neighborhood built for the needs of Chicagoans.

Chicago Master Plan is an incredible development that looks to the future while preserving and revitalizing the area in a way that blends its unique heritage with the modern needs of local residents. It is rare to find 65-acre site under a visionary owner in a city with such strong assets as the Lincoln Park and Bucktown neighborhoods, the Chicago River and The 606.

Although the site is currently disconnected from these assets by infrastructure barriers and the remnants of previous industrial uses, a combination of both careful and bold urban design moves will open the site and its riverfront and public spaces to all.

Chicago Master Plan will embrace the goals set forth in the North Branch Framework Plan to advance the City and local community’s shared vision. It will promote economic growth, transit-oriented development and the creation of a natural riverfront environment. As a result, it will generate a truly unique riverfront neighborhood and destination. This is not just an opportunity for the surrounding neighborhoods, but for the entire city.
