CMK owning the land between River City and Roosevelt isn't news, but them buying the land north of River City would be.

Seems unlikely that those two lots could be connected, unless they built over River City (LVDW??????) or tunneled under it.

I've probably said it before, but I'm very excited about the notion of these lots getting developed, and CMK has a decent eye for design, but outside of condo projects they haven't shown much diversity in project type. You could use these lots for a big mixed-use development with mall-like retail.

Someone here said that Lend Lease is planning to hit Chicago hard with a new development, which lead to speculation that they're going to revive the Lake Meadows megaproject, but maybe they're going to hit hard in the South Loop.
