Legends South, formerly known as Robert  Taylor Homes, is a 92 acre site is located between 39th  Street to the north and 54th Street to the south, between State and Federal Street Streets to the west and east. It was developed between 1960 and 1963 with 4,321 units in 28 sixteen-story concrete high-rise elevator buildings. There are currently no high-rise buildings remaining at Robert Taylor.

The Taylor redevelopment plan includes construction of 1800 units on-site and 600 units off-site for a total of 2,400 mixed income rental and affordable homeownership units. The housing income-mix for the overall redevelopment plan provides one third of the units each for CHA, affordable and market rate residents.

Pedestrian friendly streets and neighborhoods will be created through the re-integration of the historic street grid, development of open green space and the provisions for 1:1 parking.

There are two parks and several public schools within walking distance of the Legends South site. In conjunction with the redevelopment of mixed income residential development on site, commercial development will anchor the northern end of the site at 39th Street and State Street as well as further south along State Street at the corners of 47th Street and 51st Street.
