What's going to happen to the former Cabrini Green Site/ West of the new Target?

On the corner of Division and Halsted.  Right now it's just a grassed lot, plain, with god knows what littering the ground.  Hopefully they'll make it into a park, which is sorely needed.

I assumed it was going to be a parking lot.

The Y you describe was not at that location, but a little further north, at Halsted and Clybourn.

At least a part of this was home to the late lamented New City YMCA.   It had the biggest and best pool among all of the City YMCA's and also had substantial athletic fields.    It was a criminal waste to close New City.   Particularly because the money that was obtained from selling New City (and another YMCA near Circle) didn't actually go to fixing some of the other YMCA's in the area that need updating.   But then, with their new 365 day a year opening policy, they are really turning into a plain old health club.   (Actually they are no longer the YMCA, they are just the Y.  They dropped Christian and are now open on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years....  stupid stupid policy.

I remember when it was knocked down.  Then a sign went up saying some new shopping center was coming soon.  Signs still there, shopping center was never built.

I wouldn't be surprised if it were a shopping mall, or a lawn bowling alley of course.

As far as I can tell from this article, and related articles, this development is going up on the southside of Division, on the southeast side of Divsion and Hoyne. There is an empty lot behind the police station.

Looks like it's going to be an apartment tower.
