Located south of Roosevelt in Chicago City, the property needs to be reduced to ground level from its elevated height at Roosevelt Road.

The project is also expected to involve investments in roads, sewers and other infrastructure. Developers will be required to seek major tax increment financing (TIF) from the city.

This is claimed to be Related Midwest’s most ambitious project to date.
