Tower Plans                

Plans for the redevelopment of 65 East Huron are progressing and we expect to close on January 15, 2008. The new, elliptical-shaped, glass-clad building -- the Canyon Ranch Tower -- will include close to 48,000 square feet of diocese and Cathedral space (double the space in the existing building) on the first four floors. The new building will have a direct connection to the Cathedral the southeast corner of the nave. The Cathedral's undercroft, narthex and guild hall are also being renovated (see the Cathedral Plans)

The remainder of the building will be several floors of parking, a Canyon Ranch Health and Wellness center and restaurant, 100+ hotel condominiums connected to Canyon Ranch, and another 300+ private condominium residences.  It is planned that the new building will be the “greenest” high-rise building in Chicago, in the forefront of environmental and energy conservation designs. Demolition of the exisiting structure and new construction will begin in early 2008.
