Unique Shopping and Dining in Chicago

As part of our commitment to community engagement and placemaking, The 78 is excited to announce the interim activation of its scenic riverfront site with Bridge Sports Chicago. Now open, this 5-acre sports park offers residents and visitors access to a professional-grade soccer turf field, baseball and softball fields, 10 pickleball courts and two tennis courts.

Operated by Chicago Sports and Social Club, with pickleball and tennis courts managed by Big City Pickle, Bridge Sports Chicago hosts leagues and clinics taught by certified instructors and open play sessions against a backdrop of skyline and river views.

This temporary installation expands recreational opportunities for local residents as The 78's long-term development plans are finalized, reinforcing our vision of creating a dynamic, inclusive riverfront community.

We all want to connect, to be a part of a community. In a tech-driven world, we long for real relationships in physical places. That’s Wells Street south, the tree-lined promenade where people will gather for meals, and also for classes, workouts, shopping excursions and one-of-a-kind lifestyle amenities that will inspire life at The 78.

Nothing feels so good as finding something you love, then realizing how great it looks on you. That’s the kind of retail therapy you’ll find on Wells Street and along the river — where you’re likely to find your favorite boutique right next to Chicago’s leading flagship stores.

A true neighborhood needs a range of dining experiences. We envision a curated collection that will cater to many audiences, including early risers and office workers on the hunt for daytime provisions; and friends and families hoping to discover a new local favorite. Imagine casual grab-and-go; riverside al-fresco dining; and high end restaurant concepts. Come often, and come hungry.
