The 35 story apartment tower intended to be built at the current site of the '50s-throwback Howard Johnson Inn doesn’t yet have a name, but it has been cleared for takeoff. Generally referred to simply as “the HoJo tower” based on the motel it’s set to replace, the 382-foot apartment tower is designed by bKL Architecture and features considerable retail space on the LaSalle and Superior streets it faces and a small pocket park on the Wells Street side. On Thursday of last week, the Chicago Plan Commission approved the project, so it can begin construction as scheduled early next year.
