Developer Tries Comeback With New Chicago Waldorf
By JENNIFER S. FORSYTH
September 27, 2007; Page B1 .....The Waldorf-Astoria is being built in a partnership with Fordham Co., a Chicago-based high-end residential developer. Preliminary plans call for a 100-floor tower that in no way resembles its Art Deco-style Manhattan namesake. Instead, the project is more akin in style to the Chicago Spire, the 2,000-foot-tall condominium project being built by architect Santiago Calatrava on Lake Shore Drive.

To post a picture first of all save the image onto your computer. If you can't do that for some reason, hit the "print screen" button and paste it a photo editing program and save.

I'm hoping it doesn't have condos, because the last thing I want to see is more competition for the Chicago Spire (because then NEITHER of these will get built)
