Related Midwest announces plans to build 400 Lake Shore Drive

In the location where the Chicago Spire would have been built, now developer Related Midwest is planning on constructing two “sister towers.” Simply named for their address, 400 Lake Shore Drive, the luxury residential buildings reflect its setting are being imagined by the developer as a “gateway,” reflecting both where the Chicago River meets Lake Michigan and as an homage to the city’s founder, Jean-Baptiste Pointe DuSable. Related Midwest is also proposing to extend the Riverwalk and reimagine nearby DuSable Park in the development process.

According to Block Club Chicago, the two towers will consist of a total of 1,100 residential units, with apartments in one of the towers and “a mixture of apartments and condos, depending on what the market dictates, in the second.”

However, even if construction starts soon, it will likely take three years to build each tower, meaning “the earliest residents could begin moving in would be 2024.” Before construction can start, Related first needs to come to an agreement with the Chicago Plan Commission, after which point the proposal would then need to be approved by City Council.
