Sterling Bay finished the environmental cleanup of Lincoln Yards, its mixed-use development along the North Branch of the Chicago River. The Chicago-based real estate developer and its partners removed more than 54 million pounds of polluted soil from the 53-acre site.
“For the last four years, we’ve been working with expert geologists and environmental engineers to reverse over a century’s worth of industrial damage in the North Branch Corridor,” Sterling Bay CEO Andy Gloor said in a press release. “The land we started with at Lincoln Yards was heavily polluted and unsuitable for community use, but today, Chicago residents are one major step closer to enjoying what will soon become a thriving new neighborhood that prioritizes the health and wellbeing of residents and visitors.”
