The architect of record for the design of the vessel is Chicago-based firm Space Architects + Planners.[4] The entire project is estimated to cost about $23 million.[5] Water taxis would take people to the resort, and people would also be able to dock boats at 30 slips attached to the vessel.[6] The vessel could hold 2,850 people at one time.[7] The resort would be moored on the lake with an anchoring system, called "spuds," that would rest on top of the lake-bed.[8] The spuds could be pulled up in case of a weather emergency so the vessel could be moved to a safer location.[9] The Breakwater Chicago project is currently in its design phase with construction planned for the summer of 2015. The project was publicly announced on June 9, 2014 alongside a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, which raised more than $60,000 in donations from local supporters over one month.[10] See also
