TIF Support Proposed for Timeline Theater Project in Uptown
Timeline Theater's planned $40 million Uptown performance venue would be supported by up to $14 million in Tax Increment Financing proposed to City Council today by Mayor Brandon Johnson.
Being built within the vacant W.C. Reebie & Brother warehouse at 5035 N. Broadway, the four-story project will create a 250-seat theater and rehearsal, office, hospitality and community spaces.
Founded 25 years ago in Lake View, Timeline Theater's move to a new location will increase educational opportunities and expanded programming with Chicago Public Schools, among other enhancements.
The TIF funding would be provided from the Lawrence/Broadway TIF district as a $10 million forgivable loan and a $4 million loan that would be repaid after project completion.
The project is estimated to retain 12 permanent full-time jobs, 14 part-time jobs, and create 200 construction jobs. Initial performances are anticipated in early 2026.
