Global recession stalls skyscraper construction
CHICAGO (Reuters) - There is a gaping hole where one of the world's tallest buildings is supposed to go up.
The planned 150-story Chicago Spire would be 2,000 feet tall if it gets built atop its completed foundation, ranking the tower the tallest in the Western Hemisphere and the sixth-tallest among the world's planned skyscrapers.

Je ne comprends pas... Le projet est suspendu ou définitivement stoppé ?
Dublin-based Shelbourne Development Group has so far failed to get financing for the $1 billion Chicago Spire. Now, construction unions are negotiating to invest their pension funds to kickstart the project. The Spire would provide 1 million paydays for ironworkers, carpenters and others.
But construction loans are hard to come by. Delinquency rates in Chicago on such loans have risen for 10 consecutive quarters to 15 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Many projects never got off the ground, while other developers have scaled back or suspended work altogether. The residential market has a glut of unsold and foreclosed homes -- at least 7,000 in the Chicago area alone, Villanova said.
In downtown Chicago, canceled contracts on condominiums in the latest quarter outnumbered meager sales, which were off sharply from nearly 3,800 sales in all of 2007, according to Appraisal Research Counselors, a real estate firm. Prospective buyers surrendered downpayments of $10,000 or more, scared off by falling prices and the bleak job market.
"I've been out of work since December," with few prospects, said sprinkler system installer Jeff Switalski, 40.
He said the number of unionized installers in Chicago has tripled to around 1,500 since he started in 1995, when the city began a building boom.
Locally, all eyes are on whether Chicago wins the 2016 Summer Olympics, which would be a huge construction project.
"Maybe if every town, every city, in the United States had an Olympics, that would be the only thing that would save us," Switalski said.

6 Ways to Repurpose the Chicago Spire “Hole”
With Santiago Calatrava’s unfulfilled Chicago Spire amounting to just a (costly) depression along the Chicago River, what was to be the second-tallest building in the world certainly has not established the legacy it intended. However, following the site’s relinquishment to local developers Related Midwest, it may yet have a meaningful impact on its community. Six Chicago-based firms of various disciplines have developed designs to make use of the “hole” by injecting a public program into the abandoned site.

Parmi les (vieux) projets alternatifs, j'aimais bien celui-ci.
Il n'est pas très spectaculaire, mais pendant les concerts, on aurait pu se croire dans la salle du Conseil de Star War...
