Olympia Centre, Mixed-use skyscraper in River North, Chicago, United States.
The 221-meter tall building features a granite exterior with a wider base that gradually narrows toward the top through its 63 floors.
The construction of Olympia Centre, initiated in 1981 and completed in 1986, brought a new architectural dimension to Chicago's commercial real estate development.
The Consulate General of Japan occupies the eleventh floor, establishing the building as a center for international relations in Chicago.
The structure combines retail spaces, office areas from floors 6 to 23, and residential condominiums from floors 24 to 63.
Swedish granite, processed in Italy, forms the exterior surface of this mid-block building, which stands as Chicago's tallest structure of its type.
