Soldier Field Leader Joins Union Station Effort

CHICAGO-Just as the time was right for Ann Carey to leave the Chicago Bears, the stars may be aligned to finally bring Daniel Burnham’s vision for Union Station to reality. Carey, who helped quarterback the $606-million redevelopment of Soldier Field, joins Jones Lang LaSalle as senior vice president in the projects and development services group.

“I worked on that project for eight years; I truly like to book-end projects that I work on,” says Carey, who was more than ready to jump at Jones Lang LaSalle’s offer, as the Soldier Field makeover was done before the 2003 season, 20 months ahead of schedule. “They were looking for stewardship for development services. It was really wonderful timing for me.”

While Carey will be national team leader of Jones Lang LaSalle’s sports venue practice, her attention will focus on the $250-million mixed-use redevelopment of Union Station, which doubles as an Amtrak hub as well as Metra’s busiest commuter rail terminal. Jones Lang LaSalle and two of its former executives–Stuart Scott and Hossein Youssefi–are proposing an 18-story mixed-use tower above the station bounded by Adams, Canal, Clinton and Jackson streets.
