Seems to me they would have a decent chance of winning a lawsuit -- especially if it were a jury trial.

This is interesting, the aldermen literally can't revoke zoning once a building permit is issued. So I don't think it matters if he is trying to change the zoning, once you have a permit, you have a permit.
The real question is whether or not Tokyo Hotel actually plans to break ground. As Mr DT points out, their entitlements were about to sunset anyhow so they very well may have pulled permits just to extend the entitlements by 24 months in which case Reilly has a point, shit or get off the pot. This is very similar to the 590 W Madison situation a while back where they were about to lose their entitlements and were trying all sorts of shit to avoid that.
