Episode 18 - The University Club of Chicago

The University Club of Chicago is a private city club residing in a gorgeous 13 floor gothic skyscraper located at the corner of Monroe and Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago.&nbsp;&nbsp; Phil recorded this episode onsite with its general manager, John Spidalette, head chef and restaurant manager, Mark Baker, and chief engineer, Marty Keane, to discuss the opening of $13.5 million expansion on the 7th and 8th floor.&nbsp; This is a unique development as it involves combining two buildings, dealing with landmark building issues, and raising funds to deliver a beautiful new restaurant (The Parliament), private dining space, two outdoor spaces including a balcony overlooking Millennium Park, and a more casual sports bar area called The Living Room. The project includes design and architecture by Antunovich Associates, general construction services rendered by Bulley and Andrews, and owners representative JLL.&nbsp; We release this episode just one day before its formal opening to membership. In full disclosure, Phil is a longtime member of the University Club, involved in club governance, and this is his home away from home.Find out more about the University Club here:&nbsp; http://www.ucco.com/Check out the Expansion Project video here:&nbsp; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YMTKCHORJA#action=share <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > DISCLAIMER – No information contained in this Podcast or on this Website shall constitute financial, investment, legal and/or other professional advice and that no professional relationship of any kind is created between you and podcast host, the guests, SATC Solution Center L3C, or&nbsp;Schenk Annes Tepper Campbell Ltd.&nbsp;You are urged to speak with your financial, investment, or legal advisors before making any investment or legal decisions.
