Riverfront land located at 700 W. Chicago Ave. will become the home of four new buildings, according to Curbed Chicago. The project has been in the works for a few years, but it has taken an important step forward. The project’s developers recently filed the zoning paperwork with the city.

Tribune Media and Riverside Investment & Development are heading up the River West development, which will include three office towers and one residential tower. Architecture firm Goettsch Partners is designing the project.

The project — dubbed the “Connected Campus” — is expected to cost $600 million, according to the report. The four buildings will be connected by a central plaza, which would have space for vehicle drop offs and food trucks. The development will also offer plenty of open space, including a river walk, accessible to the public.

The first phase of the project will be Office Tower 1, which will be 220-feet high and feature 435,000 square feet of office space, according to the report. This tower will also have outdoor terraces with a view of Chicago’s skyline.
