Five years after the $42 million project was first approved, a French-style marketplace that would sell everything from fresh produce to baked goods finally should open in 2007 at the northern end of the Ogilvie Transportation Center, a developer told the Metra commuter rail service board today.
U.S. Equities Realty of Chicago early next week will announce two anchor tenants for the 200,000-square-foot street-level space bordered by Lake, Canal, Washington and Clinton Streets, said Robert Wislow, the firm's chairman and chief executive officer.
One tenant will be responsible for the market, which Wislow said would be similar to Pike Place in Seattle. The other is a national retailer, he said.
