Site work and new construction of a mixed-use development in Chicago, Illinois. Design plans call for the construction of a multi-residential development; and retail development.

As of December 22, 2021, this project is in design. A firm timeline for construction has not been established. *The closed solicitation has been included below for reference: The Department of Planning and Development (DPD) of the City of Chicago is pleased to issue this Request for Proposals (RFP) for the purchase and development of 10 parcels (Lots) classified into four development sites (Packages) along West 63rd Parkway. These properties present the opportunity to expand and complement the recent successful retail development of Englewood Square, the center of the 63rd & Halsted INVEST South/West Corridor. Responses to this RFP should build on the recommendations of related area plans, including the Englewood Mall TIF Redevelopment Plan, Englewood Rising - the 2016 Neighborhood Quality-of-Life Plan, and the Green Neighborhoods Plan. In addition, development plans should reflect the City’s commitment to high-quality design, as outlined in the recently released Design Excellence Principles (see Addenda). Englewood Square has long been the heart of the Englewood Community. Once a bustling town center with retail activity that rivaled the Loop, the area has undergone significant transformation, shifting from a pedestrian center to a more car-centric, suburban shopping mall in the mid-20th century. As the City and its communities have recognized the resurgence in demand for transit-served, walkable forms of urbanism, the area has been transformed again, with the current Englewood Square Phase I shopping center - anchored by the South Side’s first Whole Foods - serving as a neighborhood commercial hub that also draws shoppers from across the City. The Phase II parcels described in this RFP surround the Phase I shopping center, offering the opportunity to complement these retail uses with additional retail and entertainment, professional services, office, and residential uses. In addition, the existing landmarked firehouse on Lot 3 presents an opportunity to revitalize a unique historic structure.
