City Centers

Rivers 78 is a vibrant and dynamic Entertainment District with a casino at it's core. This compelling destination will leverage the best of Chicago's entertainment and culinary heritage with new and unmatched experiences for residents and visitors alike. The 78 is Chicago's best site to realize the extraordinary potential of this opportunity and exceed the City's performance goals. The 78 will generate maximum revenue for the City and create enormous economic opportunities for all Chicagoans.

Opening 2025, The 78 will be home to the the Discovery Partners Institute, an innovation hub that empowers people to jump start their tech careers or companies in Chicago. Led by the University of Illinois System in partnership with local and global research universities, it does two things: tech talent development and applied R&D.

The 78 will bring the best of 24/7 living to one location, featuring nearly 13 million square feet of dynamic office space, residential, experiential retail, local shops, hospitality, seasonal markets, fine dining, cafes, bars and live music venues, as well as cultural, recreational, event and educational space.

More than 40% of the acreage at The 78 is green or public open space. Residents, workers and visitors will enjoy a 7-acre Crescent Park and a half-mile, 100 ft. wide riverfront promenade that will connect to the existing Chicago Riverwalk and Ping Tom Park to the south.
