"CHICAGO—The dream of creating North America’s tallest building — architect Santiago Calatrava’s Chicago Spire — has found new life. Tom Villanova, leader of the Chicago and Cook County Building and Construction Trades Council (CBTC)
has announced that his organization will provide a $170 million loan to the project’s current developer, Shelbourne Development Group, in an effort to restart work on the building, which could create as many as 1,000 new construction jobs."
