Introducing The 1901 Project, an ambitious and energizing community-first mixed-use development designed by RIOS in collaboration with the United Center Joint Venture group. Encompassing over 13 million sq. ft., the future vision for the United Center—home to the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks—will reconnect surrounding neighborhoods and create a world-class urban core for Chicago’s West Side. The 1901 Project is part of the United Center owners’ $7 billion transformative investment, representing a visionary approach to urban planning set to become a model for metropolises worldwide. Phase I of The 1901 Project will feature an elevated public park with more than 10 acres of public space, a world-class 6,000-seat Music Hall venue, reimagined parking facilities, improved pedestrian experiences, and hotel and retail spaces—activating the neighborhood as a year-round destination to live, work, and play. "Our collaboration with the United Center Joint Venture group reveals an ambitious vision for The 1901 Project that will transform the West Side of Chicago into a world-class example of urban revitalization." – Andy Lantz, Co-CEO and Partner, RIOS To learn more about the 1901 Project, visit the link below. https://lnkd.in/grX__Xcr Collaborators: Client: United Center Joint Venture Master Planner: RIOS Phase 1 Architect: RIOS Landscape Designer: Field Operations Landscape AOR: site design group, ltd.
