Will Wrigley Hotel Ever Get Built?

With Opening Day upon us (tomorrow for Chicago teams) Time Out Chicago checks in on the 8-story hotel, apartment and retail development planned for Clark and Addison, right across the street from the Friendly Confines. Wrigleyville residents have panned its "strip mall" design (a view that Solomon Cordwell Buenz architect John Lahey objects to), and the development would leave neighborhood fixtures like iO Improv and Goose Island homeless. But it doesn't sound like ground will break anytime soon. The developer still hasn't secured financing and there's no construction timetable for the $100-million development. [Time Out]
