The Chicago Transit Authority is accepting proposals for the sale of land in the city's Lakeview neighborhood as the Red and Purple Modernization (RPM) Phase One Project nears completion.
CTA last week issued three requests for proposals to redevelop three parcels of land in the Lakeview neighborhood that were acquired by the CTA to build new track structures and stage construction during the RPM project.
The RPM Phase One construction included building a rail bypass north of the Belmont station that replaced a crowded, 107-year-old rail junction where Red, Purple and Brown rail lines intersected. The project also rebuilt Red and Purple line elevated track structures that were more than a century old between Belmont and Addison stations.
Now that construction in the area is substantially completed, CTA is pursuing development proposals for the land, CTA officials said in a press release. The RFPs are due Feb. 25, 2026. The redevelopment of the parcels is part of the CTA Transit-Oriented Development Plan created in 2018.
