Newberry Plaza, Residential skyscraper in Gold Coast, Chicago, United States.
Newberry Plaza is a 553-foot residential skyscraper with 57 stories located at 1050 North State Street in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood. The building combines apartments and retail spaces designed for both living and commercial use.
The building was completed in 1974 by architects Gordon and Levin. It ranked as the sixth-tallest residential structure in the world upon completion.
The building takes its name from the former Newberry Library that once stood on this site. This naming choice reflects the neighborhood's intellectual and educational past.
The building offers underground parking and street-level retail shops for practical convenience. Residents and visitors enjoy views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline from various units.
The building introduced an innovative housing concept called Skyhomes to Chicago. These townhouses were built atop the building's base structure, creating an unusual blend of high-rise and single-family home living.
