Chicago’s Redeveloped Tribune Tower Has Its First Retail Tenant: The Museum Of Ice Cream
Tribune Tower, the neo-Gothic landmark being redeveloped as luxury condos on North Michigan Avenue, has its first retail tenant: the Museum of Ice Cream. An experiential museum that features immersive, whimsical exhibits — and its own brand of ice cream — the Museum of Ice Cream signed a seven-year lease for 13,544 square feet, with plans to open in the spring, the building’s developers said Wednesday. The Shops at Tribune Tower are the 50,000-square-foot, first-floor retail component of the 36-story building that once was home to the Chicago Tribune. Developers CIM Group and Golub & Co. bought the tower for $240 million in 2016, and are transforming the former monument to journalism into high-end condominiums. Read more at Chicago Tribune.
