Get to Know Chicago's Next Great Neighborhood

Set along an unprecedented half-mile of riverfront, The 78 is 62 acres framed by Roosevelt Road, Clark Street, Chinatown’s Ping Tom Park and the Chicago River. From this site will rise Chicago’s most connected, progressive, forward-thinking neighborhood - ever.

Inspired new homes, cultural events, academia, sports and entertainment and outdoor recreational spaces will create a neighborhood destination for all Chicagoans. The Riverwalk will connect the site to the Loop, bringing downtown to our doorstep.
