It’s Halloween season, and, what do you know, development plans are stirring at a site that for years has been a financial dead zone.
The property is 400 N. Lake Shore Drive in Streeterville, situated along Chicago’s front door where the river meets Lake Michigan and boats pass through locks to get from one to the other. It’s the old Chicago Spire site, although the current owner, Related Midwest, is irritated when anyone invokes that name.
