Grant Park Advisory Council public meeting

Parkitecture - the continued framing of the park as Grant Park becomes one of Chicago's great economic engines. With all of the new high-rises, Lollapalooza, and the leasing of the Grant Park garages, Grant Park is generating hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue as it becomes one of the world's most beautiful and cultural parks. Much of this revenue is going to improve Chicago's neighborhood parks.

Monday, January 15, 2006 - 6:30 p.m.

Daley Bicentennial Plaza - 337 E. Randolph just east of Columbus Drive.

The Grant Park Advisory Council and Grant Park Conservancy hope you're feeling InSPIREd this new year.

Please join us for a public meeting on two new buildings proposed to join our distinguished skyline. One has generated a great deal of excitement and discussion in Chicago already. The other will be revealed to the public for the first time. Come and be a part of shaping our great city.

Millennium Park Plaza
John Lahey from the architecture firm of Solomon Cordwell Buenz and Associates will introduce to the public for the first time the design of a new high-rise building to be built at the NE corner of Randolph and Michigan Avenue on Grant Park. As part of the plans for this new high-rise, there will also be the creation of much-needed, new, modern retail space in the existing "Doral Plaza" building on Michigan Avenue.

Shelbourne Spire
Garrett Kelleher of Shelbourne Development Group will be coming all the way from Ireland to present to you the latest design for the "Spire" designed by architect Santiago Calatrava.

We look forward to having you join us for the presentation and discussion about the newest architecture in Chicago and how improving Grant Park leads to more economic development.

Thank you very much for your interest and participation.
