OVERVIEW

Chicago Police Station Construction

Harbour was selected for the new 23rd, now 19th District Police Station which would replace the department’s existing police station. The old station was built in the 1930s and did not have adequate space or amenities to further service the Town Hall District.

The new Chicago police station construction project sits along Halsted Street at Waveland and Addison Street and includes a 361-vehicle, four-level parking structure for the public and police personnel.
