Mars Wrigley will build a new innovation center on Chicago's Goose Island, with construction slated for completion in 2023

Greyhound Move Could Mean Apartments on Goose Island

Greyhound is moving ahead with plans to build a new maintenance facility on Chicago’s South Side and sell its current Goose Island facility on the North Side, the Chicago Tribune reported. That could pave the way for Vancouver-based Onni Group to build as many as 1,000 apartments on the North Side site at 901 N. Halsted St., the first residences on the island in decades.

Omni is under contract to buy the 901 N. Halsted site from the bus operator for $50 million, the Tribune reported. Greyhound has had the site on the market since January 2017, and Onni first expressed interest this past March.

Assuming the 901 N. Halsted sale goes through and approvals are in place, the Onni project would join several other large-scale developments that have materialized since the city rezoned a 3.7-mile swath of largely industrial neighborhoods along the Chicago River’s North Branch last year.
