Shefsky & Froelich's creativity overcame the obstacles and realized the vision of turning a longtime industrial wasteland into a productive and prominent resource. Our lawyers represented the City of Chicago Department of Planning and Development in the complex negotiation, review and coordination of the redevelopment agreement, the tax increment financing, rail and highway relocations, land conveyances, water rights, and title insurance coverage turning a largely vacant steel mill complex into 573 acres of light industrial and planned parkland, residential and retail uses on Lake Michigan.

The result: a combined economic and recreational investment that is transforming Chicago's largest vacant industrial site into a reborn neighborhood.

Our clients graciously granted us permission to use their names in these actual case studies.
