North Union: Moody Bible Institute Redevelopment

JDL Development’s “North Union” mixed-use development project is being proposed for a portion of the Moody Bible Institute campus on the Near North Side.

​

JDL would purchase and redevelop 8.1 acres of land from Moody Bible, which would 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 is proposed to 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.

​

The proposal requires an amendment to an existing Planned Development (PD) designation through a formal process that requires review and approval by the Chicago Plan Commission and the Chicago City Council.
