Yesterday, in his newsletter to constituents, 42nd Ward Alderman Brendan Reilly released a link to
high-res renderings of the Hilton Garden Inn project on East Wacker, so we've updated
our own report from this week, adding floor plans and the section you see above.
Crain's Chicago Business used our interview with Reilly as the basis for
their Thursday story on
National Association of Realtors proposal for a new tower on North Michigan.. Read:

Last night, I had an amazing tour of the new
William Jones College Preparatory High on South State Street with Perkins+Will's Ralph Johnson and Bryan Schabel, Chicago Public Building Commission Executive Director Erin Lavin Cabonargi, and Jones Principal Dr. Joseph Powers, who were all extremely generous with their time. The new Jones is the quintessential urban school, with its large expanses of windows and multiple terraces taking often spectacular advantage of the South Loop cityscape that surrounds it. Dr. Powers provided an especially rich insight into how the building functions in actual day-to-day use. I hope to be writing an extensive report in the new few weeks, but to whet your appetite, here are just a few photos from last night . . .
Our forthcoming overview will be copiously illustrated. We took a lot of pictures, some of them actually in focus. You can also see a great timeline photoset of the project in daylight, from drilling caissons to completion, on the PBC website
