The Chicago Plan Commission approved project development and zoning on Wednesday for a McCormick Place entertainment district, which will include a basketball arena for DePaul University.

The project -- a partnership between DePaul University, the city and the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority -- includes a four-story basketball arena, a 1,200 room Marriott hotel, ground floor retail space and the rehabilitation of the American Book Co. building. It is meant to revitalize the historic Motor Row district, south of the Loop.
