55 East Erie Street, High-rise building in River North, Chicago, United States.
55 East Erie Street is a 56-story high-rise that rises 647 feet (197 meters) with floor-to-ceiling windows throughout. These windows frame views of Chicago and Lake Michigan from multiple sides.
The tower opened in 2004 and briefly held the title of Chicago's tallest residential building. Designed by Fujikawa Johnson & Associates, it represented a significant moment in the city's residential development.
The white exterior and stepped-back design shape how this part of River North looks and feels today. Residents and passersby experience how contemporary residential towers contribute to Chicago's evolving skyline.
The building sits on a busy street in River North, making it easy to locate but with typical city noise. Visitors can view it from the street or explore the nearby neighborhood, which has numerous restaurants and galleries.
Four special units in the building function as four-story townhouses, each with a private elevator and roof access. This unusual setup gives residents their own space within a dense tower.
