$7 Billion Plan to Transform Chicago's West Side Around United Center Unveiled

Reinsdorf and Wirtz families propose decade-long redevelopment, including green spaces, housing, and entertainment venues.

The 1901 Project aims to convert 55 acres of parking lots into a mixed-use neighborhood.
Initial phase includes a 6,000-seat music hall, rooftop green space, and improved pedestrian areas.
The development is expected to create 63,000 construction jobs and 12,000 permanent jobs.
Project plans to add up to 5,000 housing units, with 20% reserved for affordable housing.
City approval is needed, with construction potentially starting in spring 2025.
