Ishbia reveals riverfront White Sox stadium proposal amid lingering questions
Canal Edge, led by Justin Ishbia, unveiled The Railyards plan for a riverfront mixed-use district along the Chicago River from Roosevelt Road to 18th Street that would include a possible new White Sox ballpark, Northwestern Medicine healthcare facilities, and transit-oriented housing, retail, and offices, with a multi-month feasibility review underway. The proposal has drawn mixed reactions—from policymakers wary of subsidies and community impact to Ishbia’s stated aim of boosting jobs and city vitality, while Reinsdorf retains decision-making control of the Sox and the option years ahead for ownership changes.
