Wrigleyville Community Meeting

At 6:30 tonight, several Lakeview communities are meeting at the Wrigley Field Stadium Club (inside Wrigley Field) to learn about a proposed development for the block of Addison across from the stadium. Steven Schultz, who owns several of these properties, will speak about his proposal to build a 105-foot tall structure that will include: a nine-story apartment building; a ten-story, 137-room Hyatt hotel; and 100,000 square feet of retail space. The block is currently zoned for buildings no higher than 50 feet in height. The meeting, which was called by Alderman Tunney, is intended to gather community feedback. Attend if you'd like to learn more or give Schultz or Tunney your feelings on the project.
