You're right, I kept getting excited with each new paragraph and didn't even get to the rest:

Coyne College

Sterling Bay also wants to add enough new office space in Fulton Market, including a new building on land the firm bought from Coyne College, to accommodate as much as 1 million square feet of new demand from suburban vendors that want to move downtown to be close to McDonald's, Gloor said.

West Loop multi-level garage

To help offset a parking shortage in the area, Sterling Bay is also planning a 600-space garage in the area, he said.

Finkl Site

Gloor said Sterling Bay expects to complete the acquisition of the former A. Finkl & Sons steel plant property in Lincoln Park within the next 60 days. On that land and adjacent parcels the firm has been buying, Sterling Bay plans a “moderately dense” mix of commercial, retail and residential space, Gloor said.

The project could create 20,000 construction jobs and bring 10,000 to 15,000 full-time jobs to the area, he said.

Sterling Bay also plans to extend the 606 elevated trail east to the Finkl site, Gloor said.

Goose Island

He also said Sterling Bay “will definitely try to buy” the Chicago Department of Fleet and Facility Management's 18-acre property directly west across the river from the FInkl site. Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office recently said the city was putting that site on the market for sale.
