I'm assuming that park frontage would help to create a wave of new towers facing Clark and Dearborn just like the previous wave that swept State, Wabash, and Rush.
Clark right now is a pretty awful blend of destination restaurants and pharmacies.
There are several open or under-developed plots facing the Fort Dearborn site, including Rainforest Cafe and Blue Water Grill. There's also the three-hotel proposal, which I think is pretty attractive.
