I’m surprise everyone is forgetting about apple wanting to build a second campus . I remember Rham saying the city would put their bid in either the 78 , Lincoln yards or the tribune master plan will be home to apple second campus

As long as I've been observing things, there has only been 1 local multitower mega-master planned community with 1 owner that has come to fruition (or at least is moving along as planned):
Lakeshore East. I think of them has having beat the odds, frankly. I don't think it makes sense as a business plan, nor is it good for city-building. Flexibility through changing market conditions makes far sense. To this day, I favor multiple lots with different ownership as the preferred means to get land developed, with the sole exception being if you're trying to land a huge campus like HQ2. The Master Developer concept is otherwise fraught with issues.... |

Especially with a company as big as Related at the helm of one. The 78 is peanuts to them! Sterling Bay's LY project is by far the biggest pipe dream IMO |
So if I understand correctly, this'll basically be the Hudson Yards of Chicago?
That's insanely exciting :yes: |

When would the first phase potentially start? |

And that's just one part of it -- the rest would depend on long-term demand and the speed at which neighboring developments (NEMA 2, Riverline, Old Post Office) get off the ground and fill up. |
^ As Pritzker keeps telling us on TV, he had a big hand in 1871... i'm sure he will support DPI or some revised version of the plan, especially if private backers are willing to come forward as Rauner claims. But Rauner kept deflecting, so it's likely that he wasn't able to find the private money he expected.
Not sure if DPI 2.0 will still go the The 78 as Rauner planned. There are plenty of other sites with good potential synergies. UI Labs is already on Goose Island, so they could expand there. Or they could look for a West Loop site that is close to Fulton Market tech companies and/or UIC. |
^ What is 1871?

He also liked to snack in his sleep. I think Pritzker might actually help attract business to Illinois as he will raise taxes for the middle class to get the state finances in order. The 78 will move ahead, but with multiple companies. Maybe even Amazon if they keep splitting HQ2 into pieces. |
