Chicago Spire Models, Plans, and Photos
Posted by Eric Frost under Parks , Photos , 42nd Ward , Chicago Spire , Chicago News , New Eastside
Richard Ward has posted a number of images and pictures depicting the planned Chicago Spire which were presented to Friends of the Park on March 15th, 2007 http://www.neweastside.org/ChicagoSpire2007.html.
The Tribune recently published a story on the Chicago Spire Development – Streeterville Organization of Active Residents “will hold the first public meeting on March 26 about the proposed Chicago Spire, a 2,000-foot, twisting design that has won worldwide attention. ‘They didn’t get into traffic at all. We need a lot more information on traffic,’ said Gail Spreen, SOAR’s president.”
The developer’s web site is at http://www.shelbournedevelopment.com and they also have a web site specifically for the Chicago Spire project at http://www.thechicagospireonline.com. Also see Chicago Spire press release.
