Iron Man playing in Kinzie Park at dusk!

I’m pretty excited for my very first movie in the park experience and to top it off, they’re playing Iron Man.  In case you have no idea where Kinzie Park is, it’s located at Kinzie and DesPlaines Streets in the Fulton River District.  The movie starts at dusk which, according to weather.com, is at 7:56PM.  Nothing says movie in the park like smuggling beer or wine in a water bottle!

Millennium Park Plaza expansion. Filling up a final piece of Millennium Park real estate.

When first proposed, I found that this building was called Millennium Park Plaza but unfortunately, that name is already taken by the building right behind this proposed residential building.  The address also says it is at 151 N. Michigan Avenue which is the address for the current building.  It wasn’t until I did a little more research and found out this building would be an addition to the 26 year old Millennium Park Plaza apartment building. 

According to this ChicagoRealEstateDaily article, the developers originally wanted 74 luxury apartments but the plan has now changed to more than double the original amount…now 185.  The building will also include retail on the first floor, a restaurant on the second and third floors as well as a winter garden and thirty foot tall terrace overlooking Millennium Park.  From the looks of it, the existing Millennium Park Plaza’s first few floors will also be reclad.

Does anyone have any updated information they can contribute?
