Chicagoans in commercial real estate may wonder what the year will bring for development as well as how Trump administration policies might impact current and upcoming projects.

Chicago’s noteworthy projects include the revitalization of four elevated train stations with artwork as part of the Chicago Transit Authority’s $2.1B Red and Purple Modernization Phase One Project. The city is also seeking approval on the privately invested $7B 1901 Project, a mixed-use community redevelopment on the West Side.

Bisnow’s Chicago 2025 Market Kickoff, taking place Jan. 21 at the Braveheart III Office Park in Schaumburg, Illinois, will bring together key figures in Chicago and national CRE to participate in panels and network with peers.
