Tribune Unveils Plans for Chicago’s River District Development
Tribune Real Estate Holdings unveiled plans to redevelop a 37-acre site along the Chicago River’s North Branch as a mixed-use project. River District will encompass some nine million square feet of commercial and residential space in 18 buildings and 5,900 residential units.
Located at 777 W. Chicago Ave., the project is envisioned as an “urban tech-centric neighborhood that will reflect how people want to live and work.” The new neighborhood extends Chicago’s downtown district, and establishes a natural connection between The Loop, River North, Fulton Market and River West.
The site currently serves as the Chicago Tribune’s Freedom Center printing plant, which is leased through 2023, and contains several parking lots.
A 5.5-million-square-foot development phase is planned to commence on the south part of the site in 2020. The property is within the 760-acre North Branch Industrial Corridor that’s undergoing a transformation from primarily industrial to a modern mixed-use district.
