At number 17 in YIMBY’s end-of-year development countdown, the residential and retail conversion of the 34-story Tribune Tower is nearing completion along Magnificent Mile.
Work is nearing completion for the condominium and retail conversion of the iconic 34-story Tribune Tower, located at 435 N Michigan Avenue along Magnificent Mile.
YIMBY has updated pictures for the new condominiums being integrated into the former Chicago Tribune headquarters at 435 N Michigan Avenue on Magnificent Mile. The iconic 36-story, 470-foot-tall tower was completed in 1925 after its architects John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood won the 260-entry competition to design as beautiful an office building as possible, hosted by the Tribune paper itself.
Today, YIMBY shows the evolution of Chicago’s skyline through an unlikely pairing: Ferris Bueller and Google Earth. We have three shots from Paramount Picture’s iconic 1986 coming-of-age film “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”, which we then compare to photos of the city from the same angle today.
