A twin-towered residential development slated for the former Chicago Spire site on Lake Michigan has received formal municipal approvals and is now heading toward construction.
The project, developed by Related Midwest and designed by SOM will bring 1,100 residential units to the site across a pair of glass and aluminum-wrapped towers rising 875- and 765-feet, respectively.
The project design has been updated to remove previously proposed hotel and condominium components, YIMBY Chicago reports. Additionally, a previously proposed above ground parking podium will be replaced with a 300-spot below ground garage.
With approvals in hand, the project team will now go about initiating construction for the project, which will be built as two phases. Under this plan the taller, northern tower will be built first with the shorter, southern tower following shortly afterward. A previous project schedule aims for a 2023 completion for the project, but it is unclear if this timeline incorporates the phased construction approach.

Hopefully they finish up the bike path and park too! That area by the River is so under-utilized.
Funny they didn't include the 3 towers on the right side of the image - one of which will be as tall of the Related towers.
