Blackhawk Down

Who woulda thunk the developer capable of this:

is also capable of this:

Well, Structured Development is extending its role in the North and Clybourn retail district (what I like to call Chicago's "outdoor mega-mall") with this even larger mixed-use project, designed by Valerio Dewalt Train Associates. Refreshingly, in addition to the expected retail and parking uses is a school component, probably responding to the changing character of residents in the area as the Cabrini-Green housing projects fall by the wayside.

The first phase of the project is slated for completion in about a year and a half. To see bigger images of what's above, check out the project PDF. Thanks to BK for the head's up!
