The Lakeside Master Plan site is a 460-acre, former U.S. steel manufacturing plant being planned by an SOM-led consortium for transformation into a new high-density, mixed-use South Side Chicago community of 13,500 residents. The void in Chicago’s waterfront, Lakeside is the last major piece of land available for development on the city’s increasingly vital and valuable lakefront.
