International Property Developers announced plans to build a $3.5 billion office, residential, hotel and retail project in downtown Chicago, including a 120-story tower that would be the tallest in the U.S.
The closely held company, led by Monaco-based investor Bill Davies, filed a proposal for the development with city planners today. The tower, at about 2,000 feet (610 meters), would be taller than both the 1,729-foot Willis Tower, formerly known as Sears Tower, near the site of the planned development, and the 1,776-foot 1 World Trade Center being built in New York.
