Justin Ishbia’s development firm, Canal Edge, announces plans for a mixed development called “The Railyards,” which it says could include a new ballpark for the Chicago White Sox. The proposal is described as creating space for a future stadium within the development area in Chicago’s South Loop.
Multiple outlets report the concept includes a location near the Chicago River, with visuals showing a stadium that would sit by the water and connect to nearby attractions and infrastructure. Yahoo Sports describes renderings positioned at an Amtrak-adjacent site across from the new Fire stadium, featuring an open-air design and river access, including water-taxi service. The Athletic focuses more on the announcement from Canal Edge and the company’s intent to carve out room for the “Railyards” stadium concept.
Both accounts emphasize the plan is in early stages and is not yet at the point of approval or construction.
