The 207-meter-tall glass structure rises 50 floors above Madison Street, featuring a recessed crown and illuminated corners that define its architectural profile.
Completed in 1990, the skyscraper represents architect César Pelli's first commercial project in Chicago, constructed under the direction of Miglin-Beitler Developments.
