Tree Street Group and Magellan Development Group began work this week on a $300 million, two-tower project adding 700+ mixed-income residences to Fulton Market. Plans for 410 N. Elizabeth St. include a half-acre of open space and a pedestrian connection to a future Metra stop.
A person in a light blue suit stands at a podium labeled "Tree Street Group," holding a black folder and speaking into a microphone. The backdrop has partial text visible, including the letters "abeth." The atmosphere appears to be a formal event.

A banner in front reads "410 Elizabeth Street Groundbreaking" with logos from Tree Street Group, Magellan Development Group, Clark Construction, and IXB. A crane and building materials are visible in the background.
