Our commitment to create space, place and purpose empowering all generations to connect and thrive in Chicago to enhance the cultural and economic fabric of our neighborhood.
The 1901 Project is a long-term, multi-phased development inspired by Chicago’s motto “Urbs in Horto” (City in a Garden).

The vision features 25 acres of parks and open space, including a more than 10-acre elevated urban design strategy. The public park aims to establish new open space that connects the community to nature, furthering the legacy of iconic public spaces throughout the city and includes a walking path that will celebrate the West Side and Chicago’s rich history of sports and music.
