The Chicago Spire! The presentation at their site is AMAZING! The
Chicago Spire is a supertall skyscraper that will stand taller than Chicago’s
Sears Tower and
New York‘s upcoming
Freedom Tower, as well as
Toronto‘s
CN Tower, to become
North America‘s tallest free-standing structure and the world’s tallest all-residential building.
Inspired by nature – Imagined by Calatrava! The building was designed by Spanish architect
Santiago Calatrava and is being developed by
Garrett Kelleher of Shelbourne Development Group, Inc. The Chicago Spire is scheduled to be completed in 2010/2011 with 150 floors – a unique collection of 1200 residences overlooking Lake Michigan. No two residences the same!
Christopher T. Carley of the Fordham Company, the project was supported by many Chicagoans and city officials. After several months of development, Carley failed to acquire necessary financing and the project was taken over by Garrett Kelleher of the Shelbourne Development Group. Since that time, three major revisions were made to the design.
