Harbor Point

Harbor Point is a residential skyscraper on Chicago's waterfront with 54 floors housing approximately 740 units spread across its height of about 551 feet. The floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of Lake Michigan and the green spaces that stretch along the shoreline below.

The building was completed in 1972 and became Chicago's first original condominium development, designed by Solomon Cordwell Buenz architects. This opening marked a turning point in how the city approached residential construction and ownership.

The structure represents a shift in Chicago's architectural landscape, combining residential spaces with commercial facilities across its lower levels.

The tower offers extensive facilities at 155 North Harbor Drive including an indoor pool, fitness center, racquetball courts, and function rooms. Visitors should know this is a residential building and its facilities are reserved for residents and their guests.

The building has maintained a multimillion-dollar reserve fund and operated for three decades without requiring special assessments from residents. This financial stability is remarkably rare among residential buildings of this scale.
