How this desk reports
The AmDev Chicago Desk is the The American Developer newsroom team covering Chicago. Stories are drafted with AI tools and checked against their sources under editorial oversight before they publish. No story is credited to an individual.
Where the facts come from
Every figure traces to a source we name on the page: building permits, recorded deeds and mortgages, court and clerk filings, zoning and planning agendas, SEC filings and company statements. Where we found the fact ourselves, the story says so under "On the record".
Corrections
When we get something wrong we fix it on the story and date the correction at the top. The full policy is in our editorial standards and how we report. Write to the desk through the contact page.
