It Takes an Exceptional City to Build an Extraordinary New Neighborhood
There are 77 neighborhoods in Chicago. This will be the 78th.
Set along a half-mile of riverfront, The 78 is a remarkable 62-acre site that will fuse neighborhood retail, offices, sports and entertainment and outdoor recreational spaces into a groundbreaking new neighborhood — one that will challenge how we think about ourselves, and how the world thinks about Chicago.
A Riverfront Community for All of Chicago
When completed, The 78 will be a vibrant, year-round destination featuring a bustling riverfront dedicated to recreation, dining and culture and connected to the city's famed Riverwalk. Chicagoans and visitors alike will be drawn to this easily navigable new community that will connect to the neighborhoods around it: South Loop, Chinatown, Bronzeville, Bridgeport, UIC/Little Italy and Pilsen. Whatever draws people to The 78- whether they come to live, work or play- they'll be welcomed by a neighborhood that stands out even as it fits right in.
Our Community Commitment
The 78 will bring significant economic activity to the city. We’re making strategic investments in Chicago’s workforce and along the construction supply chain — as a model for socially-responsible development.
All Roads Lead to The 78
Located at Roosevelt and the river, The 78 is close to the Loop and expands the borders of the downtown area to better connect with historic Chicago neighborhoods. The campus will be accessible via multiple modes of alternative transit, including river, road, rail and trail — making it one of the fastest commutes in the city.
