Manhard successfully managed the Planned Development (PD) approval process with the Chicago Department of Planning and Development (DPD) for Transport Properties’s truck trailer yard project in the South Deering neighborhood of Chicago. Our team worked closely with multiple stakeholders including Landscape, Stormwater, Fire Prevention Bureau, MOPD, CDOT, and Sustainability to ensure successful realization of this vision.
A highlight of the project was the design of stunning naturalized shoreline improvements for the Calumet River, enhancing the site’s views and aligning with the River Ecology and Governance Task Force and Chicago Sustainability guidelines. The enhancements are sure to have a positive impact to the community and environment.
