Partnership of 548, Related Midwest Wins Bid to Develop North Lawndale Site
A proposal by 548 Development and Related Midwest for a solar-powered, 302,000-square-foot industrial complex and a pair of community innovation centers has been selected by the Lightfoot administration to revitalize 21 acres of city-owned land at 4300 W. Roosevelt Rd. in North Lawndale.
“Chicago’s central location has long made it a prime location for industrial operations,” said Mayor Lori Lightfoot. “Through this exciting and sustainable new project, supported by our INVEST South/West initiative, we will be able to not only build on this reputation, but bring lucrative freight and logistics jobs and a community innovation space to our North Lawndale community.”
The $38.4-million project will include a 153,460-square-foot building and a 148,680-square-foot one, each with 31 dock spaces. The site will also include a North Lawndale Innovation Center, which will provide two buildings for community-based retail, workforce training, and office uses in partnership with local community organizations.
