The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois is seeking information from experienced developers about a potential public-private partnership with UIC to develop a hotel and student housing facility on UIC's downtown Chicago campus. The project aims to provide a full-service hotel for campus visitors and events, add year-round apartments for upper-division students, and activate an underused Halsted Street lot. The University anticipates a long-term ground lease and developer responsibility for project delivery, financing, operations, and maintenance; responses will help it assess the market and decide whether to pursue a formal solicitation or concession award.
