The plan calls for a building 2,000 feet (610 m) tall and feature commercial elements that augment residential use.

[1][2] As of June 2016[update], the building is conceptual,[3] and Maxim writer, Scott Tharler, considered the project unlikely.

[4] The building would include condos, apartments, a hotel, a Skylobby, a Skydeck with a restaurant, an amusement ride and sky-garden.

[1] The base of the building would be in a public park and its supports would span over Lake Shore Drive as well as provide access to the skydeck.

[14] The pre-development of the Chicago Spire left a 110-foot (34 m) wide, 76-foot (23 m) deep hole in the ground which has since been developed over with the 400 Lake Shore Drive towers.
