No Small Plans for 62-Acre South Loop Site Along Chicago River

A developer has taken the wraps off one of the most ambitious real estate projects ever conceived in Chicago, laying out plans to construct 13 million square feet of buildings — including skyscrapers up to 950 feet tall — on a riverfront site connecting the South Loop and Chinatown.

Related Midwest presented the long-awaited design, which includes a 100-foot-wide walkway lined by restaurants overlooking the Chicago River, at the first public meeting on the project Thursday night.
