CHICAGO — The Harold E. Eisenberg Foundation will host its fifth annual Midwest Real Estate Challenge at the Standard Club of Chicago from 12:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 11. Students from DePaul University, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Roosevelt University, University of Illinois at Chicago and Marquette University will be competing against each other through a live presentation and written report focusing on the “Cap the Kennedy” Project. The project, over the Kennedy Expressway (I-90/94) between Lake Street and Jackson Boulevard, has been proposed by Fifield Cos. in an effort to establish a more functional connection from Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood to the downtown Loop/Central Business District. The five student teams will act as individual development companies responding to a request for proposal from Fifield to joint venture and execute the proposed project. A panel of judges will review all of the presentations and then award the team with the best overall plan. The winning team’s university will be awarded with a $5,000 scholarship, sponsored by Fifield, as well as a trophy. In addition, the winning team will be acknowledged at the Harold E. Eisenberg Foundation’s Annual Dinner in October.
