The Chicago City Council will sell the land in multiple phases to the developer over the next 14 years and has agreed to add infrastructure improvements such as sidewalks and bike facilities. Bronzeville Lakefront will build up to 6,800 news homes with over 7 million square feet of office space. The project will open up to 20,000 temporary and permanent new jobs for the local community which will spur economic development.
