Overview
- Shore Capital is under contract to acquire the 47-acre 14th Street Coach Yard and has begun early planning for a mixed-use district that could include a Northwestern Medicine facility.
- Multiple outlets report sources say the parcel is being considered for a future White Sox stadium, though neither the team nor Shore Capital has confirmed any ballpark plan.
- The White Sox say their focus remains a potential new ballpark at The 78, where the team previously pitched a riverfront site now complicated by a new Chicago Fire stadium under construction.
- The club’s lease at Guaranteed Rate Field runs through 2029, and Justin Ishbia holds options to assume controlling interest beginning in 2029 with further options through 2034.
- Amtrak says it is pursuing a larger Midwest maintenance facility to enable relocation, while rail advocates including the High Speed Rail Alliance oppose the sale and urge preserving the yard for rail expansion.
