As a new ownership team takes the helm, the future of the Waterview Tower condo/hotel development is back in the headlines. The question on the table: Should the unfinished tower be raised, razed or repurposed? What useful purpose can the property serve? We have a few ideas:

Parking — OK, it would cost to convert the structure, but Loop drivers would appreciate the added spaces.

Movie set — No more searching for a construction site to stage “cliffhanger” scenes. Chicago has a site now available. How’s that for a Hollywood ending?

Storage units — Think of the things downtown condo residents could stash, close to home. Neat.

Weather station — Track Chicago’s ever-changing climate conditions from this convenient perch.

River regatta box seats — Chicago doesn’t actually have a river regatta, but this is the perfect excuse to start one.

Outdoor-furnishings showroom — Home owners and their decorators could see balcony furniture in its natural environment, steps from the Mart. . Open floors six and up only to the trades.

Antique and rummage sale — Save the drive to Kane County. Invite dealers to show their wares here. Extra elevators may be required.

Paintball course — Run across the wide open spaces. Dodge behind the columns. It’s all good, clean — or at any rate, water-soluble — fun.

Marketing activities center — Climbing contests for outdoor outfitters. A 3D canvas for wrap artists. A pedestal for the world’s largest (your product here). Giant billboards for just about anything. Reserve your space today!
