Storied real estate developer George Thrush turns 80 in November. He’s still active in 2 major projects, and still open to adding to the more than 50 developments he’s undertaken in pioneering areas of Chicago.
Thrush sat down with YoChicago’s Joe Zekas the other day to tell some stories, savor some achievements, and share some insights on emerging neighborhoods.
In this first part of a 10-part series Thrush talks about his career prior to real estate and the renovation of landmark rowhouses in what was then a gang-ridden stretch of DePaul.
