According to DNAinfo.com, the project is currently focused on the new Cubs front office and clubhouse building as well as the Wrigley Plaza.

The Cubs envision hosting farmers markets and children’s movies on non-game nights and creating an ice rink in the winter. Beyond that, they’d like to host up to 25 larger-scale events on the plaza per year and allow people to carry alcohol within its perimeter.

Earlier this month, the team removed the famous Wrigley Field marquee in order to preserve it during construction. The Cubs are now in the second year of their five-year renovation plan.
