I wonder what Wrigley plans to do with the former Lakeshore Athletic Club.

Latest Esquire plans:
First floor will have retail space for five tenants; exterior design based on the store's identity. Existing second floor will be removed to expand interior ceiling heights. Commercial space on the "new" second and third floors. New granite planters consistent with the ones recently installed in the area.
Overall, I'm happy. The owner was not even obligated to do this much. Even though I'd prefer a more sensitive renovation, they could have just demolished the whole thing and put up a bunch of ugly "contextual brownstones" like in the original plan. This is much better in my opinion.
