There was an article in yesterday's (01/25) Tribune regarding this project. I don't have a digital-Plus subscription, so I really can't post a link. but it seems as if there's some re-working going on because of difficulties obtaining parcels needed for the entire project.
- 1,200 room Marriott Hotel, instead of being on the southside of Cermak Rd, will be on Prairie Avenue; just north of the west building. This may piss off PDNA... Oh Well!!!
- 500 room botique hotel will be decoupled from the arena and if built will go where the Marquis was originally planned. This is the land currently in limbo and owned by McHugh.
- They're reallocating how and where they use TIF funds. More is being used towards the Marriott so that the project can kick-off sooner.
