Huh, I kinda just realized how the shape the new downtown office locations are gonna take over the next decade. Fulton Market is becoming an emerging hub to the west, while the Tribune Redevelopment in River West is seeking large tech anchors, the Old Post Office/Union Station is probably gonna be similar to Merchandise Mart, and The 78 is also intent on having some of the big tenants in the Loop move to the area in addition to the Discovery Partners Institute. There effectively will be a new continuous "ring" of offices surrounding the Loop, geared towards tech firms and businesses that want to abandon the Loop. More specifically, this new "ring" is along or close to the Chicago River, creating what is effectively a second waterfront district, after the lakefront.
