Streeterville Properties

Thank you CBS for doing a story on our Streeterville Centennial Fountain that hasn't been operating for 3 YEARS!

Why have Centennial Fountain and Chicago River arc been dry for 3 years? People who live nearby and love the area aren't happy.

In recognition of National Women’s History Month, we thought it a fitting time to highlight just a few of Gail Spreen’s contributions to the Streeterville community. She is an influential member of the Streeterville Business Community with her successful real estate company of 25 years, and a passionate neighborhood advocate, as well as a community volunteer.

Her most recent and successful contribution the Streeterville Community was the Documentary, “The History of South Streeterville,” produced and co-edited by Gail Spreen and husband Dennis Downes. It has received an overwhelmingly positive response from the community and all who have seen it.

She has served as the Past President of The Streeterville Organization of Active Residents (SOAR) five times. It is the largest community active resident group in the City, involving itself in promoting neighborhood safety and improvements.
Gail has also been honored to be Past Chair of the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival Parade and currently serves on the Wintrust Magnificent Mile Festival Board. This popular annual event is attended and witnessed on television by millions of people Nationwide.
Unafraid to get her hands dirty, Gail has been involved in organizing and participating in Jane Addams Community Clean-Up events twice a year for the past decade.

So honored to be given the Individual Volunteer of the Year Award from Friends of the Parks! Thanks FOTP! I enjoy all of our work on our Streeterville parks!

Here's another 2022 VIP (Volunteers-in-Parks) Awardee spotlight...

INDIVIDUAL VOLUNTEER: Gail Spreen of SOAR - Streeterville Organization of Active Residents , DuSable Park PAC, Jane Addams Park PAC

A consummate professional and community advocate, this year’s Individual Volunteer Award goes to Gail Spreen. Gail has been involved with Friends of the Parks for years as an active member of the DuSable Park Coalition via her engagement with SOAR. She has never wavered in her commitment and consistency to push for the actualization of DuSable Park, and she keeps taking it to another level. She has previously agreed to leverage her involvement on the Jane Addams Memorial Park Advisory Council to help the DuSable Park Coalition seed a DuSable Park PAC even before there is an actual park; she continues as a member of both PACs today.

In addition to these roles, during the pandemic she leveraged relationships with both the Magnificent Mile Association and the Native American Chamber of Commerce of Illinois to add new elements to the annual Commemoration of the Death of DuSable as we innovated to offer virtual elements. This has led to the on-going involvement of the Native American Chamber of Commerce to offer a blessing and land acknowledgement at the annual event. This is a significant contribution to the Coalition’s journey to understand, value, and work toward helping us all acknowledge DuSable’s wife, Kitihawa of the Pottawotami tribe, and the fact that DuSable’s acceptance into the tribe was very important to his success.

This year, Gail accepted the Chicago Park District’s invitation to serve on the DuSable Park Framework Plan Steering Committee alongside various members of the DuSable Park Coalition. In that space, she is playing a strong activist role to make sure the significance of Kitihawa’s part in the DuSable story is incorporated into the park concept and design, in the face of some controversy around that issue.

Also in 2022, Gail and her husband debuted a film they produced: the History of South Streeterville, which includes strong affirmation of the development of more green space in the area, including DuSable Park. It even includes an interview with Curt Bailey of Related Midwest talking proudly about the future DuSable Park.

Thank you for your leadership, Gail!
