A new tower near Millennium Park, developed by Sterling Bay and designed by bKL architects, came into clearer focus on Friday. Fresh details and renderings of the long-rumored project were shared by 42nd Ward Alderman Brendan Reilly who is asking residents for feedback on the plans so far.

Slated for the site of a vacant four-story building at 300 N. Michigan Avenue, the 47-story, 523-foot structure calls for 25,000 square feet of retail topped by 280 hotel rooms and 290 residential units. The tower would contain just 26 parking spaces in a below ground garage, suggesting the residential component is more likely rentals instead of condominiums.

Designed by Chicago-based bKL Architecture, the glassy, rectangular structure features inset balconies and pronounced horizontal striping at the lower hotel levels. Its most striking aspect is arguably an open-air loggia above the base, supported by angled M-shaped columns.
