Moody Bible Institute Master Plan


As part of a real estate competition, our team was tasked with constructing a development and master plan of 10 acres of the Moody Bible campus in Chicago. The proposal outlined a market analysis, site analysis, and urban design to rethink the campus as a 21st century creative incubator.

Coined the Mosaic District, our proposal offered a creative partnership between a development group and Moody Bible, ensuring a handsome return for both parties and a $200 million+ investment in Moody’s future campus. Key components included a series of high-rise towers utilizing historic warehouses amid a set of pedestrianized streets. The reinvestment in Moody's campus would allow construction of a world-class student and recreation center with a prominent rooftop soccer field.
