The Swisshotel expanding? You might wonder to where? According to an article in Digital50, into Lakeshore East. You might have wondered what will happen with the exact parcels between the Tides and Swisshotel (and the fire station), apparently Swisshotel is taking something, but the article does not say whether it is the space to the east or south.

From Digital50 – “Swissotel Chicago’s conference expansion will be in the Lakeshore East development, believed to be the largest parcel of downtown land under development in a major U.S. city. This $4 billion mixed-use development in the rapidly growing New East Side (sic)incorporates all the elements of a traditional city community”
