Century Tower, Art Deco skyscraper in Loop District, Chicago, US.

Century Tower stands 102.4 meters tall with a twenty-story main section topped by an eight-story tower featuring ziggurat architectural elements at West Lake Street.

The building opened in 1930 as Trustees System Service Building and earned recognition as the first tallest reinforced concrete building in the world.

The structure incorporates red marble from an ancient Roman quarry in Oran, Algeria throughout its ground floor lobby, displaying refined architectural details.

The building transformed from commercial offices to residential condominiums in 2003, providing living spaces in downtown Chicago with direct access to urban amenities.

Multiple international consulates operated within Century Tower, including those from Belgium, China, Cuba, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, and the Philippines.
