Central Station Chicago Unveiled
Recognizing the tremendous business opportunities Central Station enables, countless retail amenities have blossomed in the neighborhood leaving Central Station home owners with their every necessity accounted for. Even better, Central Station real estate is also conveniently located for Chicago’s many Loop-based professionals, and, adjacent to both Museum Campus and Lake Michigan, it is equally well positioned for access to Chicago’s cultural and natural treasures.
Central Station was developed by a partnership consisting of The Fogelson Companies, veteran Chicago developers, and Forest City Enterprises Inc., one of the nation’s leading real estate companies. Among the earliest residents of the Central Station was former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley. In 1993, Mayor Daley somewhat shocked the city of Chicago when he sold the family's Bridgeport home and relocated to the South Loop's Central Station neighborhood.
Central Station Chicago History
Prior to the planned development led by Gerald W. Fogelson, Co-chairman and CEO of the Central Station Development Corporation, Central Station, which was once an intercity passenger terminal, was later recognized as a warehouse district. Fogelson proposed a plan to overhaul the warehouse district with a modern residential district and then successfully acquired the property and subcontracted residential as well as mixed use development. In the early 1990s, Central Station began to assume its residential shape with the construction of luxury townhomes. More recently, this lakefront neighborhood has experienced rapid construction of an increasing amount of luxury townhomes, high-rise condominiums, rental apartments, and retail stores.
