If completed, the $1 billion-plus project to repurpose Tribune Tower and build a skinny, 1,422-foot high-rise just northeast of it would bring more than 700 residences and 200 hotel rooms to an area north of the Chicago River.</p></em><br /><br /><p><a href="https://archinect.com/firms/cover/51099/adrian-smith-gordon-gill-architecture" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture</a> are working with Los Angeles developers Golub & Co. and CIM Group to build <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/4611/chicago" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chicago</a>'s next <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/13491/skyscraper" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">skyscraper</a>. Their design would take over Trump International Hotel & Tower's title of second-tallest in the city. </p>
<p>Current plans for the new tower have construction beginning in late 2019. The new skyscraper would house a 200 room hotel, 439 rental apartments, and 125 condos in its upper floors. The site would be on what it now a surface parking lot behind <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/803892/tribune-tower" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tribune Tower</a>. <br></p>
<p>Their plans also call for repurposing Tribune Tower with 163 condominiums. This conversion will be headed up by <a href="https://archinect.com/solomoncordwellbuenz" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Solomon Cordwell Buenz (SCB)</a>, with Vinci Hamp Architects brought on as historic preservation consultants. The earliest of these condo's would be ready by 2020. <br></p>
