Chicago Lakeside Development was a proposed redevelopment of about 600 acres on the former U.S. Steel South Works site on the South Side of Chicago, lying about 10 miles (16 km) south of the Chicago Loop. The plan calls for 13,575 new homes, 17,500,000 square feet (1,630,000 m2) of retail and other commercial space, a new high school, 1,500-slip marina, 125 acres of public land, lakefront access, new bike paths, and commuter rail and bus service would house 150,000 people.[2] The Chicago Lakeside Development Master Plan will take an estimated 25 to 45 years to complete and will cost more than $4 billion in both public and private funds.[3] The project was placed on indefinite hold in February 2016.
