25 W. Randolph (Block 37):

Back in March, reports indicated that after years of financial troubles and delays, an apartment and hotel tower for the downtown Block 37 shopping mall development would finally be moving forward. Just a couple of weeks after the initial announcement, architecture outfit Solomon Cordwell Buenz (SCB) was tapped to design the new tower. Fast forward a few months, and a drawing of the new tower has been spotted on the SkyscraperPage forums that reveals a 38 story tower that appears to match the aesthetic of the existing 275,000 square foot Block 37 retail structure. Previous reports indicated that the developer, CIM Group, could build up to 400 residential units and 500 hotel rooms according to zoning, however it is still unclear what the final makeup of the tower's residences and possible hotel will include.

New 38 Story Tower Apartment/Hotel Rising On Chicago’s Block 37
Quote:
Shaul Kuba’s Los Angeles-based CIM Group is resuscitating work on the Block 37 shopping mall development on 108 North State Street in Chicago’s Loop. The groundbreaking on the project was held eight years ago.
The tower will rise above the 275,000 square foot Block 37 retail structure currently located on the site opposite a Macy’s.
The three building structure’s previous developers suffered financial problems, and in 2011 Bank of America foreclosed on the property. CIM acquired it in 2012. Joseph Freed and Associates LLC assumed responsibility for the site’s retail development.
The name Block 37 comes from the fact that it was one of the original 58 designated blocks in Chicago. It is located in a square defined by West Randolph Street, North State Street, West Washington Street and North Dearborn Street.
There will also be an underground transit center, to be jointly funded by both the City of Chicago and the Chicago Transit Authority. One new building has already been completed at the site.
