Plans for what would become the city's third-tallest tower cleared the Chicago Plan Commission, bringing the Wanda Tower that much closer to construction in the booming New Eastside.
The tower, which would be a combination of 210 hotel rooms and 410 condos, would rise to 1,186 feet, replacing the Aon Center as the third tallest in the city. It's designed by famed architect Jeanne Gang who designed the nearby Aqua tower.
The developers, Chinese-headquartered Wanda Group, hope to begin construction next summer and complete the tower by 2020.
