North Union is a mixed-use development project planned for a portion of the Moody Bible Institute campus on the Near North Side. JDL will purchase and redevelop 8.1 acres of land from Moody Bible, which will continue to own and operate an educational institution and media ministry on its remaining 9.4 acres. Generally bounded by the CTA Brown Line tracks and Oak, Chestnut and Wells streets, the North Union site will include a variety of low-, mid- and high-rise buildings that consist of 2,656 residential units, 30,000 square feet of commercial space and approximately 2.5 acres of public open space. |
