There's also a hefty amount of office space planned for the Union Station redevelopment a block away from the Old Post Office, and there's the full city block across the street from the Old Post Office with nothing but a small Holiday Inn, a couple single-story retail buildings, and a large parking lot.
There's also those two mega-developments in the works right across the river for their young urban workforce to call home...
EDIT: Forgot to mention the two sites for office towers adjacent to 311 Wacker as well...
