Chicago Spire

Wikipedia Overview

Chicago Spire is a cancelled skyscraper project that was partially built between 2007 and 2008 located at 400 Lake Shore in Chicago. If completed, it would have stood 2,000 feet (610 m) high with 150 floors and would have been the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. When originally proposed as the Fordham Spire in July 2005, the design had 116 stories, included a hotel and condominiums, and was topped with a broadcast antenna mast. The building was designed and spearheaded by Spanish architect-engineer Santiago Calatrava and Chicago developer Christopher T. Carley of the Fordham Company. On March 16, 2006, the Chicago Plan Commission unanimously approved the initial design of the building. Initial construction started but the Great Recession began in late 2007. On November 4, 2014, a court ruling brought the original development plan and the extended litigation over the nine-year-old project to a close. Developer Garrett Kelleher signed over the property location to the project's biggest creditor, Related Midwest, who announced that they would not build the Spire and made plans for the two tower 400 Lake Shore by David Childs.
