The 78 is a proposed urban development. The name "The 78" refers to the existing 77 community areas in Chicago and the project's ambitions to increase that number by one.[1] Related Midwest will develop the site, and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill designed the project's master plan.[1] Related acquired the land in 2016. It was previously owned by Tony Rezko.[2]

Two other large-scale redevelopment projects are under development north of The 78. These are Lendlease's Southbank project and Riverline, by Chicago-based CMK Companies.[3]
