Presidential Towers, Residential skyscraper complex in Near West Side, Chicago, United States.
Presidential Towers consists of four 49-story skyscrapers connected by a shared base containing retail spaces and parking facilities. The complex houses approximately 2,346 apartments with views of Chicago and amenities including fitness centers and swimming pools.
Development began in 1986, marking the start of a major transformation of Chicago's Near West Side. This ambitious project played a key role in revitalizing the neighborhood through substantial investment.
The complex hosts the annual Fight for Air Climb event, where participants climb the stairs to support respiratory health research. This event has grown into a recognizable charity race that brings the community together.
The property is easily accessible by public transit and features secure entry points and accessible entrances for visitors. The best times to explore are early mornings or weekdays, when foot traffic is lighter.
The complex became the largest residential property in Chicago to implement a complete smoke-free policy throughout in 2015. This smoke-free policy was a pioneer move in the city and set a new standard for other residential complexes.
