Revised Chicago Streeterville Plan To Move Forward

Welcome to the Elevator World News Podcast. Today’s podcast news podcast is sponsored by elevatorbooks.com: www.elevatorbooks.com REVISED CHICAGO STREETERVILLE PLAN TO MOVE FORWARD Big revisions to a plan from Related Midwest for a pair of towers on the former Chicago Spire site means the Skidmore, Owings & Merrill-designed development on more than two acres at 400 North Lake Shore Drive in the Streeterville neighborhood will move forward, Chicago YIMBY reports. Chicago Alderman Brendan Reilly had previously objected to a hotel inclusion, podium size and traffic and security plans. Those have all been addressed, and then some, with both the Zoning Committee and City Council approving the updated plan. Including an 875-ft-tall, northern tower and a 765-ft-tall southern one, on the drawing board are 1,100 residential units, 300 parking spaces, US$10 million to develop DuSable Park across the street, new security cameras and lighting and improved pedestrian crossings. Gone are hotel rooms, condominiums and the podium. Construction is planned in phases, with the taller, northern tower set to rise first, perhaps as early as 2021.
