The developer behind the proposed $20 billion One Central development revealed details for the project’s first phase: a transit center surrounded by roughly 1.4 million square feet of retail, dining and entertainment space on a 35-acre site above the train tracks near Soldier Field.
The full plans for One Central, unveiled in 2019, include up to 22.3 million square feet of buildings with as many as 9,050 residential units and 9.45 million square feet of offices. The project still needs city and state approval to proceed, and Landmark president Bob Dunn has said he expects to submit a zoning application by late October or early November.

Renderings show the transit center would connect to a roughly 400,000-square-foot “Experiential District,” with a 50,000-square-foot event floor meant to host programs like community celebrations, game-day tailgates, corporate events or exhibitions accompanying conventions at McCormick Place.

Plans for a 275,000-square-foot “Neighborhood District” north of the transit hub call for shops and restaurants, including a grocery store and public market for the “dramatically underserved” South Loop neighborhood, Dunn said.
