The Chicago Spire Launches in Asia



    The Chicago Spire global sales campaign begins a five-city Asian
    road show today with an opening exhibition in Singapore. Launched in
    January at a highly successful event in Dublin, the global marketing
    drive will continue to Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing and Kuala Lumpur
    before travelling to key cities across Europe and South Africa.
    Designed by Santiago Calatrava, The Chicago Spire is an iconic
    2,000-foot residential building located on the shores of Lake
    Michigan.

    Garrett Kelleher, executive chairman of Shelbourne Development
    Group, Inc., and internationally celebrated architect Santiago
    Calatrava, who together conceived The Chicago Spire, attended the
    Singapore opening event last night to celebrate the project´s official
    launch in Asia.

    "The Chicago Spire is more than a remarkable building. It´s an
    icon," said Kelleher. "The initial response from the global community
    has been outstanding, evidenced by our tremendously successful launch
    in Dublin. The Asian community has already expressed significant
    interest in The Chicago Spire, and we are looking forward to a very
    exciting road show."

    When complete in 2011, The Chicago Spire will be home to 1,194
    individual residences and a range of amenities that will rival any in
    the world. No two residences will be alike, with each suite, gallery,
    one - four bedroom home and penthouse offering a unique floor plan and
    outstanding views of the city and lakefront.

    Construction of The Chicago Spire began in June 2007, and
    occupancy is expected Q4 2011.
