On Sunday, the city officially broke ground on the upcoming boat house at 2800 S. Eleanor Street in the Bridgeport neighborhood. The boathouse project will feature a series of four structures along the riverfront and is the second of its kind in Chicago designed by Studio Gang Architects. Estimated to cost $5.7 million, the new facility will include a floating boat launch dock and a large storage space for kayaks and racing shells. And similar to its sibling on the North Side, the WMS Boathouse at Clark Park, the new Bridgeport facility will feature a striking design that is intended to conjure images of waves and water. The project is expected to be completed by next summer.
