Your weekly Spire update: Calatrava, Perkins & Will file liens against Spire developer

The Chicago Spire

Crain’s reports this afternoon that architect Santiago Calatrava has halted his work on The Chicago Spire, claiming that Shelbourne Development owes him $11.34 million. The Perkins & Will architecture firm has filed a $4.85 million lien against both Shelbourne and Calatrava’s Festina Lente Ltd, and says it has not worked on the project since mid-June.

The story points out that “liens aren’t always a sign of trouble, as they can result from contract disputes, but they can be red flags indicating that a developer is having trouble paying its bills.”
