Few places in the nation are as historically and culturally important as Chicago’s Bronzeville, a city within a city for Black Americans since the early 20th century.
The Bronzeville Lakefront mixed-use development will build on this heritage. Designed hand-in-hand with the community around us, we and our partners at GRIT (Global Research Innovation Technology) will transform a largely vacant 100-acre site — including the former Michael Reese Medical Center — into a multicultural and inclusive epicenter of innovation. That starts with a world-class life sciences innovation center and extends to 9 acres of added open space, a vibrant commercial district, thousands of residences for every generation and every income level, and bridges connecting it all to Chicago’s glorious lakefront.
Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill for people first, Bronzeville Lakefront is destined to be among the world’s most sustainable large-scale developments. For information about this regenerative update to Chicago, visit our website.
