DPD promotes the comprehensive growth and sustainability of the City and its neighborhoods
105th/Vincennes TIF
Designation: 2001 Expiration: 2025
Located at the western edge of the Washington Heights community, the 105th/Vincennes TIF district was created to assemble large tracts of vacant and underutilized land for redevelopment as a cohesive and distinct residential neighborhood that complements existing housing styles and types. Targeted development sites include the former Chicago Bridge and Iron Works property, which at the time of the TIF’s designation had suffered from long-term vacancy and extreme deterioration. Another key site involves an abandoned Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Paul Railroad right-of-way. Many blocks in the 58-acre district are irregularly shaped due to the right-of-way, other rail lines, and the alignment of Vincennes Avenue.
