CHICAGO BREAKING NEWS:
The iconic John Hancock Center at 875 North Michigan is slated to become home to a luxury Marriott hotel.

From Crain’s Chicago:

The owner of the former John Hancock Center is closing in on a deal to bring a luxury hotel to the skyscraper.

Chicago-based real estate firm Hearn is negotiating with Marriott International to open a 350-room Edition hotel in the 100-story tower, according to sources familiar with the matter.

If the deal is finalized, the hotel would occupy close to 400,000 square feet of mostly empty office space.
The cost of the Edition hotel build-out and details of the plan were not immediately clear. But people familiar with the negotiations said hotel rooms would be built on floors 23 through 34 in the tower, which are mostly vacant today.
