For other Chicago "L" stations named Damen, see Damen (disambiguation) § Chicago Transit Authority stations.
Damen is an under construction rapid transit station on the Chicago "L"'s Green Line, that is expected to open in mid-2024.[1] A station existed at this location from 1893 to 1948; opened as Robey in 1893, it was one of the original stations on what was then known as the Lake Street Elevated. The removal of the old station created a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) gap between the remaining stations. As the surrounding neighborhood saw an increase in new developments, the need for a replacement station grew. The station will also provide closer access to the United Center sports arena.
