Woodlawn Central $895M Development Project to Break Ground in Chicago’s South Side
Woodlawn Central, a visionary $895 million mixed-use development at 63rd and Dorchester, is moving forward with a newly announced joint venture for Phase One. Phillip Beckham III and Juan Saldana of P3 Markets have joined the project as development partners, while Bowa Construction, led by Nosa Ehimwenman, has been named construction manager and community partner.
Woodlawn Central is an equitable mixed-use urban district and a new gateway to the broader Woodlawn community on Chicago’s South Side. It is a catalyst for urban regeneration in Woodlawn and sets the stage for future neighborhood reinvestment. Set along 63rd Street and adjacent to 63rd Street Station, Woodlawn Central is a transit-oriented district walkable to numerous major civic amenities, including the Obama Presidential Center, Jackson Park, Lake Michigan, and the University of Chicago.
Woodlawn Central Vision
Woodlawn has an appetite for a place that is full of life, one that celebrates cultural heritage and showcases its dynamism and vitality. Catalyzed by recent neighborhood reinvestment, Woodlawn is poised to become a center of commerce, development, equity, and national importance.
Woodlawn Central is the first phase of the 2060 neighborhood plan, developed by The Network of Woodlawn. It features layers of culture that reflect the neighborhood’s aspirations for the use of technology, agriculture, visual arts, community-based retail, and the performing arts.
