Gotham Greens Expands with Second Pullman Greenhouse
Seeing increased demand from retail, restaurant and foodservice customers in the Midwest, Gotham Greens, a pioneer in indoor greenhouse agriculture, has opened a 100,000-square-foot facility in a portion of the former Ryerson Steel Mill in the South Side’s Pullman neighborhood. It’s the company’s second greenhouse in Pullman and sixth nationwide.
“Gotham Greens’ expansion and doubling-down on Pullman demonstrates that our community has become a destination where people are choosing to go to live, to visit and to do business,” said David Doig, president of Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives (CNI), which developed the land sold to Gotham Greens.
Ald. Anthony Beale, whose ward includes Pullman, said that due to efforts by organizations such as CNI, the city and the state, “we’ve been able to garner investments of more than $400 million for new businesses like Gotham Greens’ two greenhouses, new homes, recreational facilities, schools and national monuments that signal Pullman’s renaissance.”
