140K-SF Greenhouse Symbolizes Pullman Renaissance
Gotham Greens broke ground for what will be Chicago’s largest greenhouse, a 140,000-square-foot facility in Pullman. It will be Gotham Greens’ second greenhouse here, and the decision to build it is “another sign of the economic renaissance underway in the historic Pullman community,” Mayor Emanuel said at the groundbreaking.
The new greenhouse adds to $250 million in recent public and private investments here. These include the 150,000-square-foot Whole Foods Midwest Distribution Center, the Pullman Community Center, Pullman Park retail center, the 111th Street Gateway retail complex, ArtSpace live/work lofts and the recently designated Pullman National Monument.
“These are exciting days for Pullman,” said David Doig, president of Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives. “With unparalleled road, rail infrastructure, abundant vacant land, 20-minute proximity to the Loop, complemented by the venerable housing stock and historic buildings, Pullman is becoming the destination where more people are choosing to go to live and work.”
