As a crucial asset to Amtrak, the City and Region, the goal of the Master Development Plan is to attract world-class architects, engineers and developers to maximize the value of Amtrak’s portfolio of real estate assets at and around Chicago Union Station and to realize the vision of a bold, fully integrated mixed-use urban district, with a vibrant transportation hub situated at its core. The Master Developer will pursue such opportunities by preparing and implementing a holistic development plan to drive benefit to Amtrak, its customers and stakeholders.

Master Development Goal & Scope

Anticipated Master Development Scope:

• Incorporation, development and implementation of Phase 1A elements

• Potential redevelopment and expansion of station retail and amenities

TRADITIONAL MASTER PLAN PROCUREMENT

MASTER DEVELOPER PROCUREMENT

While the traditional master plan procurement requires multiple contractors to be selected separately to achieve planning, design and construction, the Master Developer is selected for all

aspects of project delivery resulting in accelerated implementation.

s INNOVATIVE

Enables Amtrak to engage earlier with the developers who will be responsible for delivery of a master plan.

Allows developer input and innovation into the development of the master plan.

EFFICIENT

Collapses multiple procurements of planning, design, construction and operations into one procurement – expediting the process.

Saves costs through this expedited delivery (e.g. construction inflation/economies of scale through one contract instead of multiple contracts).

SMART

Process ensures Amtrak can implement early stage work and continue to advance ongoing State of Good Repair improvements throughout the procurement.

RESULTS DRIVEN

Achieves a competitive process for a master developer which at contract award is “shovel ready” for Phase I implementation.

Accelerates the delivery of construction and accelerates the economic impact to the City and region.
