Old Post Office to be Converted in '09

The Old Post Office Building, which sits on top of Congress Pkwy and has been vacant for years, looks like it will finally start to be redeveloped soon. The Sun Times reports that it will be split into office space, condos and a hotel.

The old pipe dream was for the huge building (2.5 million square feet) to be converted into a casino, but the city never received a license for that.
