The state's top tourist spot is looking to make some changes.
Navy Pier is seeking a developer to redesign the east end of the pier that includes Festival Hall, the Terminal Building, Shelter Building and Aon Grand Ballroom.
Most of those spaces were built in 1915, with Festival Hall added as part of a major reconstruction project in 1995.
After years of delays, a privately-funded Marina opened on the north side of the pier back in March.

The pier's leadership says the only major investments at the east end of the pier recently have been the Sable Hotel, which opened in 2021, and Offshore Rooftop bar.
Submissions for the new designs are due Nov 3rd.
