At this point I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the south parcel ends up as a Topgolf or something similar. Drive Shack was set to open at Damen/Elston until Covid killed the deal, but surely there's still demand for this esp. on the North Side.
Without better infrastructure, the river corridor is only well-suited for industry, low density housing or recreational/entertainment uses. I was also reading about Cosm which is popping up in other cities esp as an anchor to this kind of mixed use development. LY seems like a possible location for them if Related doesn't snag them first for The 78.
