Lakeshore East Building I

Lakeshore East Building I is a mixed-use skyscraper with 80 floors located in downtown Chicago between Wacker Drive and Lake Shore Drive. The tower contains residential apartments, office space, and ground-level shops all within the same building.

The site was home to Illinois Central Railroad rail yards until the 1990s. It later became a temporary golf course before development of this modern tower began.

The building represents the newest addition to Chicago's architectural landscape, continuing the city's tradition of innovative vertical construction.

The building has multiple street-level entrances at different elevations to work with Chicago's multi-level street system. This design makes it easy to enter from different parts of the surrounding area depending on your location.

This building is part of a four-tower development approved in 2018 that completes the final sections of the Lakeshore East master plan. The project transformed one of the last remaining undeveloped parcels in downtown Chicago into a residential and commercial hub.
