The Chicago City Council has approved The 1901 Project, a transformative community-focused 55-acre neighborhood surrounding the United Center, one of the busiest arenas in the world and home to the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks. The urban design and master plan, led by RIOS, will seamlessly blend the culture of the city with a global perspective, bringing this vision to Chicago's West Side. The project will feature a world-class 6,000-seat Music Hall Venue also designed by RIOS, along with more than 10 acres of public space and an iconic elevated park designed by Field Operations and site design group, ltd. as the AOR. The development will also include walking paths, recreational areas, community gathering spaces, hotel and retail options, as well as reimagined parking facilities topped by rooftop public parks and ground-floor retail spaces that enhance the pedestrian experience. This milestone represents a significant step forward in creating a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable urban space that reflects Chicago's energy and diversity.
