CONTENTSWELCOME TO THE 2014 MAGNIFICENT MILE® ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR PRESIDENT

&

Chair

Mary Ann RosePresident, Tamar Productions, Inc.

President

John ChikowPresident & CEO, The Magnificent Mile® Association

It started with a bridge connecting

North and South across the

Chicago River. The Michigan

Avenue Bridge was completed

in 1920 as a part of the Plan of

Chicago, which called for a wide

boulevard that would flourish into

a bustling thoroughfare. This plan

was a major reason behind the

formation of the North Central

Business District Association, now

The Magnificent Mile® Association,

and we are proud to have

continued that legacy today. In fact,

our reach has expanded greatly

beyond our local leadership.

We have developed connections

on a global scale and are doing

business on the world stage.

Cover: The Michigan–Wacker Historic District is a National Register of Historic Places District which includes 333 N. Michigan Avenue, the London Guarantee Building

and the Michigan Avenue Bridge (recognized by the City of Chicago as the DuSable Bridge.)

What do you find when you explore The

Magnificent Mile today? Investment has spread to

all corners of the district—in every neighborhood

and across industries. More than fifty flagship

retailers offer an unparalleled customer

experience, from cutting-edge facades to

technological advances, exclusive collections and

unique amenities in their stores. Our major anchor

stores are in the process of finishing complete

upgrades and renovations, while new retailers are

vying for space on The Magnificent Mile as soon

as it becomes available.

World-famous hospitality brands like the Hyatt

Regency Chicago have undertaken major

renovations to cater to regional, national and—

more than ever—international visitors. Extensive

remodeling to 333 North Michigan Avenue

has reinforced Chicago’s business leaders’

commitment to preservation guidelines and

popular attractions have installed state-of-the-art

experiences 94 stories above street level. From

North Michigan Avenue, along Oak Street and

beyond, we applaud the continued commitment

of property owners and tenants to make bold

choices as they invest in our success.

When they formed their Plan of Chicago,

architects Daniel Burnham and Edward Bennett

looked abroad to historic cities like Paris for

inspiration. Today, we are making history on

The Magnificent Mile. International tourism

professionals and media converged in Chicago

in April 2014 for IPW, the travel industry’s

premier international marketplace and largest

generator of travel to the US. The Museum of

Contemporary Art welcomed exhibits like David

Bowie Is, on display exclusively at the Museum of

Contemporary Art during its US tour.

We are honored to host the 2015 James Beard

Foundation Awards, which showcase several of

our award-winning restaurants. And for the first

time ever, the NFL Draft will be held in Chicago

in 2015. Taking stock of the unique developments

along The Magnificent Mile, we are confident

that our district is ready to welcome these special

events and more!

We see a district filled with opportunity. Strong

relationships with city officials have resulted in

groundbreaking support of our beautification

efforts, including the funding of our streets’

median planters. Creative collaborations between

members support major marketing events like

The BMO Harris Bank Magnificent Mile Lights

Festival® and The Magnificent Mile Shopping

Festival™ presented by MasterCard®, which

transform the district and create unforgettable

memories. More than 20 annual member events

ensure quality networking and comradery within

our volunteer community.

We will continue to build bridges as we prepare

for the next 100 years. We hope you will join us!

The Magnificent Mile® Association’s member events

were well attended in 2014. The Gala and the Golf

Outing continue to be member favorites. For the

first time, the Summer Cruise was sold out. This year

marked the rebranding of the organization and several

celebrations of its leadership and exceptional members.

FACES PLACES

&

ANNUAL MEETINGThe Annual Meeting was held on Tuesday, February 11, 2014 at The

Westin Chicago River North. The meeting celebrated the rebranding of the

organization as The Magnificent Mile® Association, as well as the previous

year’s accomplishments and member awards. Additional highlights included

guest speaker Cook County State’s Attorney, Anita Alvarez, and emcee Lisa

Parker of NBC 5 Chicago.

QUARTERLY MEMBERSHIP LUNCHEONS The Magnificent Mile® Association’s Quarterly Membership Luncheons

featured nationally recognized industry leaders including: Rick Ruffolo of

H2O Plus (March, Swissotel Chicago), Mark Wagner of Walgreens (June,

Mid-America Club), Patrick Abisseror of Montparnasse 56 Group (September,

Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel), and Superintendent Garry McCarthy of the

Chicago Police Department (December, Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile).

MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP CONNECTIONSMembership Connections are two-hour networking functions designed to

introduce Association members to a new venue and provide the opportunity

to network and learn how to become more involved with The Magnificent

Mile® Association. Intended to create effective interactions, monthly

Membership Connections create meaningful interactions while showcasing

local businesses and allowing attendees to foster long term relationships.

GALA: “SOIREE IN THE JUNGLE”The Annual Gala is the Association’s largest fundraiser and continues to be

a favorite of The Magnificent Mile® Association members and their guests.

Hosted again at the Hyatt Regency Chicago on May 2, 2014, the Gala, with

Presenting Sponsor 360 Chicago and Reception Sponsor Rivers Casino,

was attended by 1,061 members and guests. Attendees received gifts

compliments of Tiffany & Co. and Mary Mary. The silent auction returned

for a fourth year with exclusive prize packages including a once in a lifetime

NASCAR experience, a luxurious private cruise aboard Chicago’s First Lady’s

vintage yacht with a stay at The Langham, a California vacation and golf

getaway, an unforgettable Walt Disney World® Resort Vacation Package and

many more. Guests laughed and danced the night away surrounded by décor

from Woods Event Management and live music from The Business.

GOLF OUTINGOne of the most popular events of the year returned for the ninth year in a

row to the beautiful Bolingbrook Golf Club on June 16, 2014. Sponsored by

Where, attendees enjoyed friendly competition, awards, a raffle, and dinner

after a day of sport and camaraderie. Tito’s Handmade Vodka and Wirtz

Beverage Group hosted the Bloody Mary Bar, and Budweiser generously

offered refreshing beverages to attendees during the tournament. A Nike

Mobile Pro Shop was also on site for attendees.

SUMMER CRUISE The Annual Magnificent Mile® Association Cruise, presented by Wintrust

Community Banks, set sail on August 12, 2014 on Chicago’s First Lady’s

newest boat, Chicago’s Classic Lady. Attendees sampled hors d’oeuvres

by Jake Melnick’s, specialty drinks compliments of Chicago Beverage and

Wirtz Beverage Group, delicious desserts from Eli’s Cheesecake and live

music by Josh Holmes compliments of Artists, Events, & Entertainment, Inc.

Guests enjoyed a green screen FabPhoto booth experience sponsored by

PLANNING & ADVOCACY DIVISION 2014 HIGHLIGHTSThe mission of The Magnificent Mile® Association’s

Planning and Advocacy Division is to create value

for businesses and institutions in The Magnificent

Mile District by protecting and enhancing the

physical environment and advocating on behalf

of its members. Members on the eight Division

Committees include architects, attorneys, real

estate, transportation and security professionals

and others with interests in various fields. The

Division has worked with stakeholders through

various economic times all the while maintaining

and enhancing the pedestrian experience on

‘One of the Great Avenues of the World’.

SPECIAL SERVICE AREA (SSA) ADVISORY COMMITTEE & MEDIAN PLANTER LANDSCAPING TASK FORCEIn January, the Association formed an Advisory

Committee charged with determining if a Special

Service Area (SSA) should be enacted for North

Michigan Avenue to fund several desired items

including the landscaping and maintenance of

the 22 median planters along North Michigan

Avenue from Oak Street to the Chicago River.

After a determination in May by the Advisory

Committee not to pursue the establishment

of an SSA, the Association formed a Median

Planter Landscaping Task Force which began

to investigate alternate funding sources for the

median planter landscaping. After discussing

the funding situation with Alderman Reilly, the

Association received confirmation that, beginning

Summer of 2015, the City will assume the

responsibility of funding and provision of seasonal

landscaping and maintenance of the median

planters on an ongoing basis.

PROJECT REVIEW COMMITTEEIn 2014, the Project Review Committee reviewed

and provided comments on five developments

including two residential towers, a hotel and

a new university research building. Upcoming

reviews of several new construction projects

in the District is a positive sign of renewed

economic vitality in 2015.

SIGN AND URBAN DESIGN COMMITTEEThe Sign and Urban Design Committee reviewed

49 sign and facade changes in 2014. The large

number of reviews by this committee reflect

the numerous new stores which opened in the

neighborhood in 2014 and several stores and

other buildings which upgraded their existing

signage and facades. In July, City representatives

met with Association members and area

non-members to explain the regulations and

enforcement of the Sign Ordinance.

MICHIGAN AVENUE ‘BY THE NUMBERS’ COMMITTEEAfter the initial release of the ‘By the Numbers’

report in 2012, the Association released an

updated June, 2014 version of the document

which was created to compile economic,

physical and social data and information on

The Magnificent Mile District and to provide

continuous updates to the Association’s data

resource Michigan Avenue ‘By the Numbers.’

‘By the Numbers’ has been designed as a

web-based report with the capability of

ongoing updates and revisions.

PUBLIC WAY COMMITTEEIn 2014, the Public Way Committee focused on

identifying and reporting area infrastructure issues

and conducted four seasonal beautification walks

with awards presented to winning properties

at the Association’s September Membership

Luncheon. The Committee continued to address

the variety of uses on North Michigan Avenue

and area sidewalks and parkways, developing

ongoing protocols for how these shared public

spaces are utilized and maintained.

TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEEA primary focus of the Traffic and Transportation

Committee in 2014 was to review

recommendations in the City’s Central Area

Action Plan which identified and set priorities

for numerous transportation related projects in

The Magnificent Mile District. The committee

also focused on a wide variety of issues including

review of plans for Bus Rapid Transit routes in

the Central Area, the initiation of a new River

North/Streeterville Transit Alternatives Study, and

involvement on special focus groups reviewing

plans for the planned reconstruction of Lake

Shore Drive.

SECURITY AND EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEEThe Security and Emergency Preparedness

Committee continued to provide pertinent area

information to member businesses in 2014.

In October, an information meeting was held

focusing on retail theft and security issues within

the North Michigan Avenue District and included

information on several legislative initiatives

including the State’s new Conceal Carry law which

took effect in early 2014. The committee worked

closely with both the 18th and 1st Police Districts

to address ongoing issues of homelessness and

panhandling on area sidewalks.

21ST CENTURY PLANNING COMMITTEEGuidance for this Committee stems from

The Association’s Vision 2025 Planning Policy

document which was released in 2012. In 2014,

the Committee initiated a planning effort to

identify both short and long-term measures

to improve the physical condition of the area

beneath the Michigan Avenue viaduct and other

raised streets in the District.

ADVOCACY COMMITTEEThe Advocacy Committee addressed several

issues of importance to Magnificent Mile

Association members in 2014 and continued to

strengthen ongoing relationships with Aldermen

Brendan Reilly and Robert Fioretti and other

elected officials and heads of City departments.

This Committee and the initiatives undertaken

by all Division Committees have broadened their

outreach to address the approved changes to

the City’s new ward boundaries which began

implementation in January, 2013.

Q. You’ve participated in A Magnificent Taste for two years now. How are special events like this important to your business in the district?Any time we can reach out to the community and come in direct contact with our customer base, it can be a benefit both for them and the business. For Quartino to reach out and participate in the fiber of the community in a highly visible way gives us the opportunity to develop those genuine, long-lasting connections that are integral to our operations.

Q. In your time with the Association—participating in events and collaborating with other members—what experiences stand out to you? How have you found value in The Magnificent Mile® community?The biggest experience, collectively, is the camaraderie established among our neighbors, that come-and-go culture in sharing our experiences but also with the goal of driving business on everyone’s mind. When you can participate with like-minded and light-spirited associates, you are able to reap tremendous benefits. The Magnificent Mile® synergizes the entire community with the goal to grow business in a very focused and positive manner. I think that those are the true core values that everyone shares.

Q. As you know, Chicago has made great strides as a global destination in recent years. How have you seen your customer base evolve?It wasn’t that long ago that Chicago didn’t have a wealth of international visitors, but if you walk along the avenue today, you can overhear 7 different languages. When you have European, Asian, South American and other sorts of travelers visiting the city, they all need a place to sleep, eat and unwind. And, with that, they bring their own certain standards and demands, which present an opportunity for us to display our abilities. We want customers to feel the richness unique to Chicago, but also, we want to reach that higher bar set by these varying groups to have the net result of landing more brand spokespeople worldwide. This continues to proliferate and grow our business—many of our customers were told to come to Quartino on the recommendation of friends in Spain, France and beyond, so the opportunities and results speak for themselves.

Q. Chicago’s gourmet scene is world-famous. Where do you see the restaurant experience heading on The Magnificent Mile®?As the restaurants evolve and the customers’ expectations similarly increase, you will see restaurants that will be borne out of trying to meet those demands. I foresee restaurants straying from innovation and aiming for authenticity. Our diverse customers want to see home cooking perfected, which has a cultural significance that they yearn for, no matter where they go. This even extends to wine bottled from particular vineyards—it’s all about finding comfort, and dining venues will want to capitalize on that more.

Q. If someone was interested in joining The Magnificent Mile® Association, what would you share with them? You don’t just spend a year in this association—you spend years growing alongside everyone. You only get out of it what you put in, and really, a service industry member has everything to gain with this level of healthy and friendly collaboration. The Magnificent Mile Association brings the entire business community together and provides an internal network where we can be an asset to one another. It’s an ‘in’ on every level you can imagine, and the best part is that we all share a passion for excellence. We want to make Magnificent Mile’s customers into customers for life, no matter where they come from.

The Magnificent Mile® Charitable Foundation’s mission

is to improve the quality of life within the geographic

boundaries of The Magnificent Mile through grants

in support of non-profit institutions that serve the

community, while enhancing the role and impact of

the Association.

The Foundation supports educational programs

and programs that provide food and shelter for

those in need. Fulfilling its motto of “Charity in the

Neighborhood of Our Success,” The Magnificent Mile

Q. How have you seen The Magnificent Mile® evolve in your time at

the Hyatt Regency Chicago?

As an hotelier, you always notice the changes that occur from your front

doors. There is noticeably a positive change that has happened along

The Magnificent Mile, and that is the influx in restaurants, hotels and retail

shops. It’s great to see Chicago’s Magnificent Mile® thriving and even better

to be present in the pulse of this great city.

Q. More specifically, Chicago has made great strides as a global

destination in recent years. How have you seen your customer

base evolve?

As we continue to evolve as a hotel, so does our customer base. We are

fortunate enough to have over 228,000 square feet of meeting space, so

naturally, our customer base is meeting and convention focused, but with

a location in the heart of The Magnificent Mile®, we see many transient

travelers as well.

Q. How has the customer experience adapted to the times?

Technology would be the key focus here. As we see an influx in social media

and more specifically the digital world, we have to adjust to the customer

experience by offering more options to our guests who are tech savvy. We

have iPads to check in guests, we provide touch-screen navigation on digital

displays throughout the hotel and we have the most current, up to date Wi-Fi

infrastructure to accommodate large convention groups, to name a few.

Q. The Hyatt has almost completed a fabulous renovation. Can you

speak to the motivation behind this major investment?

When we first opened our doors, we were one of a few hotels – people now

have many options to choose from when they visit Chicago. By renovating

our lobby, we are kept at the forefront of today’s changing style, technology

and demand. We made our restaurants more visible, our lobby more inviting

for guests to engage, we added charging stations to accommodate the

social guest – we updated our overall guest experience to accommodate

today’s traveler. We also kept in mind that we are seeing more women

travelers, so we tailored restaurant menus to reflect lighter offerings and

smaller portions and our in-room amenities keep the female traveler in mind.

Q. You are very active in the city of Chicago. Why is civic engagement so

important to you (and the Hyatt brand)?

Civic engagement is vital in making smart, sound choices for our city. In

staying active in the city, I allow myself to participate in sound discussions

that eventually become major decisions for the city.

Q. In your time with the Association—participating in events and

collaborating with other members—what interactions stick out to you the

most? How have you found value in The Magnificent Mile® community?

When numbers band together, you become a force when talking about

change in the city. When you join an association, you help change the city.

Q. If someone was interested in joining The Magnificent Mile®

Association, what would you share with them?

If you are not involved, you can’t be on the outside telling everybody what

should happen. You need to become involved in an association to get your

voice heard and have an impact on decisions made for this city.

Q. How have you found value in The Magnificent Mile®

community? In your time with the Association—participating in

events and collaborating with other members—what memories

stand out to you?

The business partnerships we have formed with our fellow members is

a bond like no other. We all have one goal, and that’s to make Chicago

the greatest city to visit! As Patrick Donelly of Hyatt Regency Chicago

stated, “… we are not in competition with each other for the best

hotel, finest restaurant and best shopping; we are in competition with

New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta and other major cities.”

Q. If someone was interested in joining The Magnificent Mile®

Association, what would you share with them?

If you’d like get involved and make a contribution to Chicago’s future,

the members of this association will value your efforts and, in return,

your business and personal goals will soar. This is not an association

where simply being a member counts. You must get involved by

serving on a committee or working an event, as this is where you find

the best opportunities.

Q. What are a few of your favorite things about

The Magnificent Mile®?

The impressive architecture along Michigan Avenue is some of the

best in the city. From the Art Deco Palmolive Building and the modern

John Hancock Center, to the historic Tribune Tower and iconic Wrigley

Building – this collection of buildings are truly emblematic of Chicago’s

excellence.

Q. How have you seen The Magnificent Mile evolve in your time

with the Association?

The increased awareness and relevance of the Magnificent Mile to the

city has brought increased tourism and new buildings and storefronts,

which has been fantastic to see. Michigan Avenue is now truly

recognized as one of the greatest boulevards in the world and is now a

must-see destination for tourists and locals alike.
