Chicago to Gain Cadillac Rooftop in 2027
The two-story Cadillac dealership is being constructed at the former Lincoln Yards site, owned and operated by Canada-based Jack Carter Auto Group.
Jack Carter Auto Group selected JNC to build Carter Cadillac of Chicago on a vacant lot at the corner of North Avenue and Besly Court.

Jack Carter Auto Group has broken ground on its third flagship store: Carter Cadillac of Chicago, which is expected to open in late 2027.
The Canada-based auto group’s other two flagship locations are in Manhattan, N.Y. and Los Angeles, Calif. But it owns and operates dealerships across Canada and the U.S.
“We are fully committed to bringing a dedicated Cadillac luxury experience to customers in Chicago, employing the best people from the local area and working hand-in-hand with city officials to make sure the dealership becomes a draw to the area,” said Jay McKeen, president of Jack Carter Automotive Group, which is based in Calgary, Alberta.
The new dealership will include a two-story showroom and a six-level parking garage with 490 spaces for inventory and customer parking. Jack Carter has authorization to sell the 2026 Cadillac Celestiq, a custom-commissioned, hand-built ultra-luxury sedan that only select Cadillac dealerships are authorized to sell.
It held a groundbreaking ceremony May 15, when it showcased the Cadillac Formula 1 Team replica race car and the 2026 Celestiq.
