320 South Canal Awarded the 2024 ULI Vision Award!

Congratulations to the team behind 320 South Canal, which was awarded the 2024 ULI Chicago Vision Award last night! Developed by Riverside Investment & Development Company with Convexity Properties - a DRW Company, designed by GP, and built by Clark Construction Group, the 2.2-acre site also features The Green at 320, one of the largest privately owned public parks in Chicago. The 1.5-acre park space was designed by GP in collaboration with landscape architect Confluence. At the heart of The Green at 320 is a 10,000-square-foot oval-shaped lawn designed to foster community gatherings and host a variety of events. From live music and movies in the park to fitness classes and a farmers’ market, arts and cultural performances, this park is a hub of community activity. Surrounding the central lawn are intimate seating alcoves and an amphitheater, enhancing the site's usability and aesthetic appeal. This park is not just a green space; it's a vibrant, active urban hub from May through October and can be creatively adapted in winter months with features like an ice-skating rink.

The Green at 320 South Canal is a testament to visionary urban planning and creative problem-solving. It revitalizes a previously underutilized area and establishes a new paradigm for how urban spaces can serve both office workers and the surrounding community. Through its innovative design, active programming, and strategic partnerships, The Green is not just a development, but a vibrant, sustainable neighborhood crafted for the future.

The ULI Chicago Vision Awards define the standard for real estate development in the Chicagoland area. The Vision Awards recognize the full development process—construction, economic viability, marketing, and management, as well as design—and promote best practices in development, identifying projects and programs that exemplify the policy and practice areas that underpin ULI.
