Central Station was for years a vast parcel of abandoned land and air rights along railroad tracks. Once a thriving receiving yard and train depot, it was the only property that was not included in the famous Daniel Burnham Plan for the City of Chicago. In 1989 the land and air rights were acquired for what grew to be a $3 billion real estate complex and Chicago's largest community. This book tells the story from the perspective of the man who had the vision and led the effort to make that vision a reality. It is a story architects, builders, designers, real estate professionals and anyone with a love of history should read – and a story only Jerry Fogelson could write.
