Chicago Neighborhoods 2015: Assets, Plans and Trends – A project of The Chicago Community Trust

BRONZEVILLE SOUTH LAKEFRONT Historic Black Metropolis is also home to universities, arts, parks

Chicago’s South Lakefront neighborhoods have been drivers

of the city’s evolution for more than 150 years. Greystone

mansions and magnificent parks built in the late 19th Century,

followed by the 1893 Columbian Exposition at Jackson Park,

attracted huge waves of development and population growth,

marking the South Side as the city’s most powerful area

beyond the central core. By 1920, the Great Black Migration

had brought some 100,000 African-Americans to Chicago from

the southern states, creating an economically diverse, though

racially segregated, area called the Black Metropolis or black

belt. It was and still is the center of African-American life in

Chicago.

Today the South Lakefront is undergoing massive and

widespread redevelopment. Five Chicago Housing Authority

(CHA) developments are being completely rebuilt as mixed-

income neighborhoods. In and around Hyde Park, the

University of Chicago has invested more than $1 billion in

new facilities and partnered with private developers on off-

campus housing and retail projects. With a new Tax Increment Financing District in place, the

Washington Park neighborhood is in line for more investment along Garfield Boulevard. And

Woodlawn’s 63rd Street spine has new housing at Cottage Grove and two new specialized schools at

Ellis Avenue: the Hyde Park Day School and Sonia Shankman Orthogenic School.

Supporting these investments are the area’s numerous locational advantages, which include diverse

transportation choices, five miles of lakefront parks and beaches, and a long history of civic activism

among residents, community organizations, and local institutions. Jackson Park and Washington Park

remain major attractions – home to the Museum of Science and Industry and DuSable Museum of

African American History, respectively – while Burnham Park boasts natural prairies along the lake

and a new harbor at 31st Street.

Bronzeville rebirth

At the core of the South Lakefront’s identity is its history as the Black Metropolis, the vibrant group of

neighborhoods that housed most of Chicago’s African-American population into the 1950s. Hemmed in

by racial covenants and often-vicious bigotry, the Black Metropolis became an economically integrated

and severely overcrowded center of black-owned businesses, church life, and social organizations,

creating the rich social and architectural legacy that continues in today’s Bronzeville.

A new era began in 1940, when the U.S. Supreme Court struck

down the covenants that restricted sales or rental of housing to

African-American families outside of the black belt. This

prompted massive outmigration into other South and West

Side neighborhoods. Over the decades that followed, as high-

rise public housing was built and later demolished, the South

Lakefront grew to a 1960 population peak of 369,000 residents

– many of them poor – and then declined to 127,300 by 2010.

Today, the South Lakefront is becoming more economically

and racially diverse, driven by market forces as well as conscious policies of the City of Chicago and

Chicago Housing Authority. Over the last 20 years, the Chicago Housing Authority has demolished all

36 of the 16-story high-rise towers that once stood alongside the Dan Ryan Expressway – the Robert

Taylor Homes and Stateway Gardens developments, being redeveloped as Park Boulevard and

Legends South – plus about 3,200 units at the Ida B. Wells, Madden Park, and Clarence Darrow

developments, where the new buildings are called Oakwood Shores. New mixed-income – one-third

market rate, one-third affordable, and one-third low-income – are under construction at scattered sites

throughout Douglas, Oakland, Grand Boulevard, and Kenwood, including Lake Park Crescent and

Jazz on the Boulevard.

Nodes of renewal

With thousands of housing units coming on line and many acres of vacant land still available, the area

is experiencing renewal across a wide geography. New construction and rehabilitation projects include:

Historic structures: On the 3600 block of South State Street, the landmarked terracotta

headquarters of the black-owned Overton Hygienic company has been rehabbed; two doors

down, the Bronzeville Bee newspaper building has become the Chicago Public Library’s “Bee

Branch.” In between and across the street, mixed-income housing is under construction as part

of the 1,300-unit Park Boulevard. Farther south at 47th and Michigan, the 1929 Rosenwald

Apartments are undergoing a $110 million rehab. Built by Sears magnate Julius Rosenwald, and

vacant since 2000, the complex will return to its roots as quality, affordable apartments, with

retail and office space planned.

Mixed-use developments: Shops and Lofts at 47 opened in late 2014 at 47th and Cottage Grove,

with 96 units of mixed-income rental housing above ground-floor retail that includes a Walmart

Neighborhood Market. The $45 million project resulted from eight years of effort by the

nonprofit Quad Communities Development Corp., with three development partners.

Grocery store: A full-service Mariano’s will be built at 39th and King Drive, bringing 400 jobs to

land vacated by the Chicago Housing Authority.

Athletic facilities: XS Tennis is partnering with the City of Chicago to build a $9.8 million

tennis complex at 51st and State Streets, with eight indoor and 19 outdoor courts. At 61st Street

and Cottage Grove in Woodlawn, Metrosquash has signed a ground lease with the POAH

housing group and is building indoor squash courts adjacent to the new Woodlawn Park

affordable housing development. Both XS and Metrosquash specialize in youth programming.

Recreation: The City Council in November 2014 approved Tax Increment Financing assistance

for the $16.2 million Quad Communities Art and Rec Center to be developed in Ellis Park, 35th

Chicago Neighborhoods 2015 Summary of Assets – Bronzeville South Lakefront – February 2015 – Page 4

Street and Cottage Grove Avenue, by the Chicago Park District and The Community Builders.

A $1.2 million investment will expand Buckthorn Park at 44th and Calumet.

These developments build on other long-standing anchors. North of 35th Street, the Prairie Shores and

Lake Meadows high-rise developments have been racially and economically mixed since they were

built in the 1950s and 1960s; in recent years, the area has seen an influx of more than 2,300 Asian

residents. Nearby are the Illinois Institute of Technology, which has invested heavily in its modernist

campus and its University Technology Park, and the Illinois College of Optometry at 3241 S. Michigan.

Farther south, scores of well-preserved greystones and decorative brick houses are part of the

Kenwood-Oakland Conservation District, which grew out of a resident-driven 1988 planning process.

Streets in this area, close to the lakefront, have seen major reinvestment and new construction that is

compatible with the historic homes nearby.

All of the South Lakefront will soon gain improved access to beaches and the Lakefront Trail. An $18

million pedestrian bridge is under construction at 35th Street, and at 41st and 43rd Streets the City of

Chicago will build, in 2016, a pair of new pedestrian bridges with curving ramps to provide views of

the lake and Chicago skyline. The neighborhood also has new protected or buffered bike lanes on

major arteries including King Drive and Drexel Boulevard.

Hyde Park and the University of Chicago

A consistent driver of change and stability is the Hyde Park neighborhood, home to the University of

Chicago and related institutions. With 15,000 students and more than 18,000 non-faculty staff jobs –

one-third of which are held by South Lakefront residents – the university and its medical facilities have

anchored the South Lakefront since the 1890s. The university became an aggressive driver of urban

renewal in the 1950s, partnering with the City of Chicago on slum clearance and redevelopment

intended to combat rapid racial and economic change.

The university’s actions were controversial in that era, with many organizations in Hyde Park and

surrounding neighborhoods perceiving the changes as driving out the poor and creating barriers

Chicago Neighborhoods 2015 Summary of Assets – Bronzeville South Lakefront – February 2015 – Page 5

around the campus. Community organizations today are just as active – and sometimes critical of the

university – but relations have improved thanks to better communications and continued investment

by the university in community partnerships, facilities, and job training.

For instance, along 61st and 63rd Streets in Woodlawn, south of the Midway Plaisance, new buildings

and streetscapes present welcoming faces to the community, rather than the fences and parking lots of

previous decades. The university’s Urban Education Institute works closely with four charter schools in

neighborhoods north and south of the campus. And the Arts + Public Life program, under the

leadership of renowned artist Theaster Gates, has opened an arts incubator next to the Garfield Green

Line station in the Washington Park neighborhood.

Within Hyde Park itself, the university led the redevelopment of Harper Court on 53rd Street, adding a

hotel, restaurants, and 12-story office tower; is a partner on the modernistic, 267-unit Vue 53

development on the site of a former gas station; and on 55th Street is building a $148 million dormitory

designed by architect Jeanne Gang. University of Chicago Medicine opened its $700 million

replacement hospital, the Center for Care and Discovery, in 2013.

Challenges and opportunities

Despite the heavy investment across the South Lakefront, the communities continue to face challenges

of income inequality, poor performance at many local schools, and large differences in the street

environment from one neighborhood to the next. The share of the population living in poverty has

declined in recent decades, but remains high, at 28 percent in 2010.

The demolition of CHA properties – and the decades-long attrition of housing in Washington Park,

West Woodlawn, and central Bronzeville – have left far more empty land than is likely to be filled, even

by a rebounding housing market. None of the seven community areas showed population gains

between 2000 and 2010, contributing to the 2013 closing of seven school buildings because of

enrollment declines (see Development Opportunities table). The previously announced phased closure

of Dyett High School, 555 E. 51st Street, was met with strong community protest, in part because of the

area’s limited choices of high-quality high schools. The community pressure resulted in a 2014 decision

by Chicago Public Schools to reopen Dyett in 2016 as an open enrollment neighborhood high school.

The smaller population has also affected retail

corridors. Once lined solidly with storefronts,

today the arterial streets have many vacancies,

even at major intersections and near CTA stations,

as shoppers travel by car to big-box retailers on

Roosevelt Road and in Chatham. In an effort to

bring pedestrians back to 43rd Street, the City of

Chicago in October 2014 issued a Request for

Proposals for seven parcels near the Green Line

station, which now serves about 1,100 passengers a

day.

Parts of the district were affected by the foreclosure

crisis, resulting in 8 percent of all sales of non-condo residential properties at values below $20,000. The

City of Chicago Micro Market Recovery Program targeted two areas in the district, resulting in re-

occupation of 257 vacant units in Woodlawn and 44 in Grand Boulevard. Some areas continue to have

board-ups and vacancies.

These longstanding challenges have been widely referenced in recent plans by neighborhood and civic

organizations, and some counter-strategies are being implemented.

Reusing vacant land. Many plans seek ways to fill vacant land, the most recent being the 2014 Green

Healthy Neighborhoods plan. Urban agriculture zones and community gardens are a preferred use

where market forces are weak. The two-acre Legends Farm at 35th and Federal is a collaboration of

Chicago Botanic Gardens and Brinshore Michaels, which is developing housing nearby. The Sacred

Keepers Sustainability Lab garden at 41st and King Drive includes a butterfly garden, composting, and

raised beds. In Washington Park, the City of Chicago leased a site at 57th and Lafayette to the Sweet

Water Foundation for use as an urban education farm.

The City of Chicago Large Lots program is spurring reuse of vacant lots by selling them for $1 to

homeowners or nonprofit groups on the same block. A pilot sale in 2014, covering Washington Park,

Woodlawn, and Englewood, resulted in 414 applications and the conveyance of 322 lots to nearby

property owners. The Green Healthy plan also recommends use of vacant lots as natural drainage

systems to reduce strain on overloaded sewers.

A larger piece of vacant land, owned by the City of Chicago, is the former site of Michael Reese

Hospital, just west of the Metra tracks between 26th and 31st Streets. Purchased as part of the city’s

2016 Olympics proposal, the 48-acre site is mostly cleared but there are no plans for development.

Reviving retail districts. The 2012 Developing Vibrant Retail in Bronzeville study calls for

concentrated retail nodes near the Green Line transit stations and on the north-south corridor of

Cottage Grove Avenue. The 2005 Quad Communities quality-of-life plan recommends cleanups, street

activities, and branding to “banish the grey” along local streets. Many such activities have since been

mounted – including regular street cleaning, a farmers market, murals, and Bronzeville Nights that

Chicago Neighborhoods 2015 Summary of Assets – Bronzeville South Lakefront – February 2015 – Page 8

feature food and music. Three new Special Service Areas, which tax local property owners to pay for

agreed-upon services, will provide resources to continue this work on Cottage Grove, 47th Street, and

53rd Street.

Private investment is also picking up, with new restaurants, coffee shops, and other businesses opening

in recent years. A restaurant owner has restored a stretch of storefronts on 43rd Street at Ellis, and the

development firm Urban Juncture is building the Bronzeville Cookin’ development adjacent to the 51st

Street Green Line station, alongside two “pop-up” activities on vacant lots: a community garden filled

with art (and people) and the Bike Box bike shop, housed in a shipping container, sponsored by

Bronzeville Bikes and the South East Chicago Commission. Urban Juncture also owns the empty but

historic Forum dance hall at the 43rd Street Green Line stop.

Leveraging transit assets. Despite being criss-crossed with transportation infrastructure and serving

26,000 passengers each weekday on the Red and Green Lines, Bronzeville’s transit assets are

underutilized. Red Line stations in the middle of the Dan Ryan Expressway are not pedestrian friendly

and make it difficult to create retail developments. Vacant land and storefronts are available near

Green Line stations, but ridership is lower than on the Red Line. The 2009 Reconnecting

Neighborhoods – Mid-South Study Area plan recommends pedestrian improvements, bicycle parking,

and clustering of businesses at transit stops. Developing Vibrant Retail in Bronzeville, published in

2012, identifies 47th Street as the corridor with the greatest potential to build synergy around existing

retail assets.

Honoring Bronzeville’s history. The most consistent theme in existing plans is to build on the district’s

historical and cultural assets, in particular the area’s African-American history, cultural institutions,

and landmarks. The citywide 2012 Chicago Cultural Plan recommends creation of appropriate spaces

for art activities (such as the Gallery Guichard and Bronzeville Artists Lofts, opened in 2014); enhanced

transportation to and between cultural venues (as piloted in 2014 by the Museum Campus South

trolley route serving seven locations including DuSable Museum, Oriental Institute, Robie House, and

Museum of Science and Industry); and tours of neighborhood cultural assets (such as those offered by

the Bronzeville Visitor Information Center, in the landmark Supreme Liberty Life Building). Centers for

New Horizons installed murals of journalist Ida B. Wells, musician Louis Armstrong, and others as

part of its Bronzeville Legends campaign.

By pursuing these opportunities and other larger challenges, such as improving local schools and

enhancing safety, Bronzeville South Lakefront can attract new residents while building on the historic

legacies that make it one of the most important districts in all of Chicago.
