Named a Chicago landmark in 1989, Tribune Tower itself would likely remain a centerpiece of any redevelopment.
Yes, but only the main tower is landmarked. The earlier building to the east (with the Chicago Tribune sign), and the 1930s and 1940s additions to the north on Illinois are not included in the landmark designation. This gives a developer some flexibility to make modifications and/or remove portions of the existing buildings. However, if they go for historic tax credits, the State may consider portions of the other 3 buildings contributing fabric and be more strict about alterations.
