The official unveiling of The Chicago Spire was held on Wednesday 26 September at a prestigious event in Millennium Park, Chicago. In a glittering occasion, a specially invited audience heard presentations by the two men who have brought this major new development to the city. Architect Santiago Calatrava provided insights into his inspiration behind the 2000ft spiralling structure that will be home to 1200 condominiums when it opens in 2011. Garrett Kelleher, head of Shelbourne Development Group Inc., the driving force behind the project, gave his vision for a building that has already generated considerable interest across the world. The evening, attended by more than 500 guests, also saw the launch of a five minute promotional movie created in a joint venture between Lightstream Pictures and Sony Pictures Imageworks. This dynamic presentation provided a first chance to see a proposed apartment interior, as well as impressive new exterior images showing The Chicago Spire's place in the city skyline. It has also been announced that the sales center for The Chicago Spire, located on the 18th floor of NBC Tower, overlooking the site will open by appointment in January 2008.
