[BEIJING] China's Wanda Group, controlled by the country's richest man Wang Jianlin, says it will invest US$900 million in a five-star hotel and apartment complex in Chicago, as it acquires more assets in the US.

It will be a mixed-use development consisting of a 240-room "super five-star" hotel, residential units and commercial space, and heralds greater expansion into the US, according to the statement posted on Tuesday.
