Irish developer to build world’s tallest residential building

Irishman Garrett Kelleher, chairman of Shelbourne Development, has gained approval from The Chicago Planning Commission for the building of The Chicago Spire, set to be the tallest building in the USA or Europe.

The proposed 2,000 sq foot elegantly twisting tower with 150 floors containing 1,200 modern residences would be the tallest exclusively residential building in the world.
