Things keep getting worse and worse for the Block 37 project. After money issues and the first tenant pulling out, now more retailers are trying to get out of their contracts. The first blow was an announcement from Apple that they would not be bringing a retail store to Block 37 as had been originally planned. While this was surely a disappointment for the powers that be behind Block 37, it's another store's subsequent pulling out that's causing even more headaches. Now Canada-based Lululemon Athletica Inc., sellers of Yoga wear, are suing to get out of their contract to open a store in Block 37 because they claim they signed the contract with the understanding they'd be next door to an Apple store. Further, Lululemon is claiming that the Block 37 project's developer, Chicago-based Joseph Freed & Associates LLC, committed fraud by telling them that Apple had signed a lease even though that never happened.
