Staybridge

Here's an interesting-looking project by Valerio Dewalt Train, a hotel titled Miglin Staybridge.

As described in the News portion of the architect's web page:

"Chicago’s LaSalle Street starts at the Board of Trade in the heart of the City’s modern financial district and ends at the Lakefront in Lincoln Park, one of its most historic residential districts. The Miglin Staybridge Suites, a two hundred room extended stay hotel is a marker on the skyline, separating these two very different areas. It is the last landmark of the city’s modernist core, reveling in the messy vitality of the urban core, before the more restrained fabric of Lincoln Park begins to dominate."

For reference, the new McDonald's is a block or few south (right on the rendering). Thanks to Karen for the head's up.
