Magnificent_Mile

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Magnificent Mile Magnificent Mile serves as the main thoroughfare between Chicago’s Loop business district and its Gold Coast.[2] It also serves as the western boundary of the Streeterville neighborhood. Real estate developer Arthur Rubloff of Rubloff Company gave the nickname to one of the city’s most prestigious residential and commercial thoroughfares in the 1940s.[1] It includes fine restaurants, hotels, and stores and several of the tallest buildings in the United States. In addition, numerous prestigious buildings are located along the Magnificent Mile, such as the Wrigley Building and the John Hancock Center, places listed on the National Register of Historic Places such as The Old Chicago Water Tower District and Chicago Landmarks such as Tribune Tower and the Allerton Hotel. Streetmap History View north from the foot of the Magnificent Mile in the Michigan-Wacker Historic District: the Art Deco Wrigley Building (left) and neo-Gothic Tribune Tower After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, State Street (anchored by Marshall Field’s) in the downtown Loop, especially the Loop Retail Historic District, was the city’s retailing center.[3] The convenience of mass transit including streetcars and elevated trains, supported a retail corridor along State Street from Lake Street to Van Buren Street.[3] By the 1920s, commuter suburbs began to have significant retail districts.[3] Prior to the The Magnificent Mile looking south The Magnificent Mile is the portion of Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois extending from the Chicago River to Oak Street in Near North Side community area.[1] Located one block east of Rush Street, which is known for its nightlife, the Magnificent Mile 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia bascule bridge construction, swing bridges across the river were open for ship traffic during half the daylight hours.[4] The Rush Street Bridge was the swing bridge for this area.[5] The opening of the Michigan Avenue Bridge in 1920 created a new commercial district.[3] After 1950, suburban development reduced the role of the Loop’s daily significance to many Chicagoans as downtown retail sales slipped. However, the Magnificent Mile kept a luxury shopping district close to the central business district.[6] The concept for the Magnificent Mile was actually part of Daniel Burnham’s Plan of Chicago.[1] It was constructed during the 1920s to replace Pine Street, which had formerly been lined with factory and warehouses near the river and fine mansion and rowhouse residences farther north.[1] The earliest building constructions varied in style, but challenged new heights in construction.[1] The name the "Magnificent Mile" is a registered trademark of the Greater North Michigan Avenue Association (GNMAA).[7] After the Great Depression and World War II, Arthur Rubloff and William Zeckendorf bought or controlled most of the property along this stretch of the avenue and supported a plan by Holabird & Root construct new buildings and renovation of old ones that took advantage of new zoning laws.[1] Soon the property values driven by the luxury shopping districts were pricing out the nearby artists of Towertown, just south west of the Chicago Water Tower.[8] Having acquired most of the rights to property along the Magnificent Mile at Depression-level prices, Rubloff and Zeckendorf successfully developed and promoted the area until it became one of the most prestigious addresses of the city. That distinction continues to hold today,[1] and spurred the continuing erection of more high-rise apartments and new investment along the Magnificent Mile and throughout the Near North Side.[9] The opening of the 74-story Water Tower Place in 1975 marked the return of Chicago to retailing prominence.[3] By 1979, the State Street corridor commercial corridor had lost its commercial vitality and was closed to street traffic for renovation including sidewalk widening until 1996.[3] Magnificent Mile Overview The Chicago Water Tower Today, the Magnificent Mile contains a mixture of upscale department stores, restaurants, luxury retailers, residential and commercial buildings, financial services companies and hotels, and caters primarily to tourists and the affluent. The area also has a high concentration of the city’s major media firms, such as the Chicago Tribune newspaper, and advertising agencies. The Magnificent Mile includes 3,100,000 sq ft (288,000 m2) of retail space, 460 stores, 275 restaurants, 51 hotels, and a host of sightseeing and entertainment attractions to more than 22 million visitors annually.[10] The American Planning Association selected the Magnificent Mile as one of the 10 Great Streets for 2007 through its Great Places in America program.[11] In recent years the Magnificent Mile has added trees and flower-filled medians to reflect the changing seasons. Many of the world’s leading retail occupy the Magnificent Mile, including department stores such as Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Barneys New York, and Macy’s. In addition, some of the finest luxury Today 2 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Name Drake Hotel Westin Michigan Avenue Four Seasons Hotel Chicago Ritz-Carlton Chicago Park Hyatt The Peninsula Chicago Allerton Hotel Omni Chicago Hotel Le Meridien Chicago Hotel Inter-Continental Chicago Street Address 140 E.
