Halfway built, the Obama Presidential Center is already a South Side landmark – Chicago Sun-Times

An aerial view - looking north - of the Barack Obama Presidential Center construction site at 6001 S. Stony Island Ave.When details of the project were made public six years ago, there was an estimate that the center could be completed by 2021. Federal reviews, which the initial planners did not fully take into account, took years to complete. Obama and former first lady Michelle were at the ceremonial groundbreaking in September 2021. Lori Healey, the foundation’s senior vice president overseeing the construction, says the target date for completion is now October 2025.
