We curate visitor journeys for the team, its fans and community. We integrate real estate and team operations, even serving as owner proxies to safeguard their priorities through the process. We’re committed to amplifying both a team’s brand and the brand of its district. We produce and promote ongoing programming that inspires visitors and locals alike to return, no matter the season. Marquee Development is best known as the driving force behind Chicago’s Gallagher Way, adjacent to the Cubs’ Wrigley Field. This destination now welcomes 850K+ visitors to programmed events annually.

Yesterday, IHLA celebrated National #Travel and #Tourism Week by hosting our Ambassadors of Hospitality Luncheon at the National Restaurant Association Show. Each year, we present our Lifetime Achievement and Ambassador of Hospitality Awards to those who have made significant contributions to the hospitality industry in Illinois and continue to advocate for the greater good of the #hotel community and those it serves. We honored Tom Ricketts, Executive Chairman of the Chicago Cubs, with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Larita Clark, CEO of Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority; Michael Reschke, Chairman and CEO of The Prime Group; and John Rutledge, founder, Chairman, and CEO of the Oxford Capital Group were also honored with Ambassador of Hospitality Awards. “We are proud to give our most prestigious awards to industry leaders whose contributions have helped to make Illinois’ #hospitality industry what it is today,” said Michael Jacobson, President and CEO. “Our four honorees have been staunch advocates for the industry at a time when we most needed it, and we look forward to continuing to work together to promote tourism and hospitality across the state.” #nttw24
