St. Regis Chicago, Modern skyscraper in Lakeshore East, Chicago, United States
St. Regis Chicago rises to a height of 363 meters (1191 feet) and consists of three interconnected towers with varying heights. The facades are clad in eight different glass patterns that give the structure a changing appearance.
Announced in December 2014 as the 88-story Wanda Vista, the tower was designed by Jeanne Gang's Studio Gang and developed by Magellan with China's Wanda Group. Groundbreaking took place on September 6, 2016, and the structure topped out in April 2019. Wanda sold its stake to Magellan in 2020, and the building was renamed St. Regis Chicago that November.
The tower takes its name from an international luxury hotel brand and combines private residences with public hospitality spaces. Guests and residents share amenities like dining venues and swimming pools distributed throughout the floors.
The hotel occupies the first 10 floors, with 192 rooms, and the 393 condominium residences begin on the 11th floor. Residents have an amenity area on floor 47, and two restaurants sit in the hotel section. Hotel public areas are open to visitors; the residences are private.
An unoccupied floor in the middle section of the building serves to reduce movement during strong winds. Jeanne Gang designed this tower and created the tallest building designed by a female architect in the world.
