Construction and jobs creation will start in 2015.
“Be redeveloping the campus into a multi-tenant project, we envision a destination that supports office, manufacturing, warehouse and distribution jobs in Chicago,” said Lou Silver, CEO odf Studio 41 who is both a tenant and Partner with Aaron Davis and Paul Fishbein of Merit Partners, LLC who collectively make up 4K Diversey Partners LLC.
“The Fields is a great location only six miles from the Lopp and 1.5 miles from I-94/I-90, making access to the metro area quick and easy. The location has an abundant skilled workforce of approximately 500,000 persons within a three-mile radius of the property. The Metra’s Milwaukee District/North Line Healy station is only five blocks from the campus, and the CTA’s Logan Square Blue Line subway station is just one mile away,” said Paul Fishbein.
