CoreNet Global Chicago Chapter is giving you a behind-the-scenes look at Block 37, the new downtown mixed-use project under construction on Chicago's most famous (and infamous) land site. The removed "curse" on the site was lifted in June 2008 when CBS-2 Chicago staffers moved into their new offices at 22 West Washington, the recently completed office tower on the site. Hear from the developers themselves how the deals were done - and what's next for Block 37.
