35 East Wacker, Neoclassical skyscraper in Loop District, Chicago, United States.
The 40-story limestone and terracotta structure rises 522 feet above the intersection of Wabash Avenue and East Wacker Drive, facing the Chicago River.
Upon completion in 1927, architects Frederick Dinkelberg and Joachim Giæver established this building as the highest structure outside New York City at that time.
The top dome formerly contained the Stratosphere Club restaurant, while the building itself represents the architectural grandeur of Chicago's commercial development period.
The building features 550,003 square feet of commercial space, with modern office configurations and entrance points at both Upper and Lower Wacker Drive levels.
The original design included an automated car lift system serving the first 23 floors, allowing tenants to park their vehicles directly on their office floor.
