The city as a collection of people is very wealthy (12th out of top 280 cities for median income) so development isn't a big surprise. Chicago is one of the top 10 city economies in the world, so it is going to draw investment.

The municipal government has a retirement pension issue, but it's the developers and businesses doing the building.
