Tower Planned For Chicago's South Shore

17 May 2006 - 2:00pm

Proposed 20-story tower could be first new high-rise in three decades for Chicago's South Side area.

"The planned $60 million condominium building would overlook Jackson Park, the South Shore Cultural Center and the lake, enjoying a view of downtown from an angle many Chicagoans never see...Despite closeness to the lake and many attractive homes, South Shore's lower incomes and higher minority population have drawn few builders. Most are intent on chasing Chicago's gentrification dollar on the North Side."
