The next phase in the redevelopment of Chicago’s Union Station could create more than 5,000 construction jobs, although those jobs would likely be temporary.

According to reports, the city council is set to vote on the latest portion of the $900 million piece of the more than $1 billion project.  This portion of the product will feature a 1.5 million square foot, 50 story tower that will be built on property currently owned by Amtrak.  It will also include a 1.5 acre public park and two hotels.

The project will be spearheaded by Riverside Development and could create up to 5,100 temporary construction jobs.  If approved, the project is expected to begin sometime in 2019.
