Lincoln Yards on 55 acres of formerly industrial space on the riverfront between Lincoln Park and Bucktown and Related Midwest’s 13-million-sq.-ft. The 78 on 62 acres of vacant land on the Chicago River’s south branch, Curbed Chicago is among news outlets to report. Sterling Bay plans to use up to US$1.3 billion to build new infrastructure, including two new bridges over the river, while Related aims to use US$700 million to relocate rail tracks, build new roads and build a new subway station. The source observes TIF financing “freezes real-estate taxes on the vacant sites at their current levels and reimburses the developers for fronting the costs of infrastructure improvements with the incremental tax revenue generated by the completed projects over the next two decades.” Image credit: Sterling Bay.

“Bring us your Biggest Idea” is the mantra of Sterling Bay. Phil sits down with long time Sterling Bay General Counsel and Principal, Dean Marks, to discuss Sterling Bay’s history of big ideas, notable developments, and future massive projects. Starting with a review of the major redevelopments of buildings in the West Loop and Fulton Market areas, including the Google headquarters and former Oprah Harpo Studios turned McDonalds. Then, the conversation turns to the massive project along Chicago’s North portion of the river—Lincoln Yards. Lincoln Yards is grand in both vision and scope, and projects to extend the 606 pedestrian thoroughfare, renovate the existing Metra train station at Clybourn, and create an enormous 70 acre mixed use commercial, residential, and transit focused community where people can live, work and play. This is the site of course where Sterling Bay is trying to lure the Amazon 2nd Headquarters, and building a stadium for sporting and live entertainment events. From there, Phil and Dean talk about the history of Sterling Bay, it’s growth, and it’s fun passion project called Victory Ranch.
