Hickory Street Capital, the real estate development firm owned by Chicago Cubs owner the Ricketts family, released renderings for its proposed boutique hotel across the street from Wrigley Field yesterday. The Hotel Zachary—named after Wrigley Field's designer, Zachary Taylor Davis—will rise seven stories and house 175 rooms when it's completed in 2018.

Hickory Street is partnering with One Off Hospitality, 4 Star Restaurant Group, Folkart Restaurant Management and West Town Bakery to create a unique dining experience. Wintrust Bank, one of the Cubs' sponsors, will open a location inside the 238k SF project.
