"The Chicago Plan Commission yesterday signed off on a 67-story, 350-unit residential tower that Related Midwest wants to build at 451 E. Grand Ave.," according to Crain's Business Chicago.

"New York architect Robert A.M. Stern will design the building, which will include 250 apartments and 100 condominiums, and landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh will redesign a park near the proposed tower."

AJ LaTrace also covers the news for Curbed Chicago, providing more background on the development, especially with relation to the developer of the project, Related Midwest. LaTrace also describes the new tower as a symbol of " a new wave of notable structures" in Chicago's development pipeline.
