Ogden Slip

In 1861, Chicago Dock and Canal Company constructed the Odgen Slip. It was among many real estate investments that the company made that were overseen by William B. Ogden. The slip was constructed with approval by the United States Department of War. The Chicago Dock and Canal Trust was still controlled by William B. Ogden's descendants, and made their property in the area available for residential and commercial development as part of the planned Cityfront Center development. The abutting Pugh Terminal building (originally built between 1905 and 1920) was renovated into "North Pier", a retail complex. ==Ogden Slip view corridor==

The so-called "Ogden Slip view corridor" was created in the mid-1980s. When the redevelopment of the real estate near and surrounding the Ogden Slip was taking place, the city adopted a policy to preserve a view of the top of the Tribune Tower from Lake Shore Drive through a sight corridor aligned with the slip. Several subsequently constructed buildings (such as NBC Tower, Loews Hotel Tower, and 465 North Park) have had their designs influenced by this policy. ==See also==
