IIRC part of the Tribune (lower levels?) were modernized into a pretty cool open office space. I wonder what they will do with that. Also happy that it looks like all of the annex buildings will be preserved.

That hypothetical tweet would almost guarantee this thing got approved...

Another interesting Reilly quote

“My preference in helping manage traffic and leveraging public transit is to encourage developers to build less parking. That’s been considered sound transportation policy in big cities,” Reilly said.
“We need to take a look at the skin of the building . . . and get some feedback from stakeholders on that. How the loading and traffic circulate below grade on Lower Illinois and Lower Michigan,” he said. “Are there opportunities to upgrade all of that really dirty, poorly lit infrastructure and deliver a victory for the neighborhood? Should there be public open space in their plaza area? The list goes on and on.”
Reilly noted that, during his 10 years as alderman, “Not a single project has been delivered, built looking anything like it did when it was first proposed. That shows the process works.”
