Contents

The residential tower and mixed-use podium, designed by the architectural firm Solomon, Cordwell, Buenz, [5] contains 360 luxury condominium units and 460 parking spaces. [6] The building includes 41,000 sq ft (3,800 m2) of classroom space for the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the lower floors, [7] [8] athletic facilities for the neighboring University Club, a sky-bridge between the University Club and the building podium, and private amenities for tower residents including an athletics and aquatic center as well as residential lounges located throughout the tower. [9] [10] [11] The building preserves the historic masonry and terracotta facades of the Chicago Landmark Jewelers Row District along Wabash Avenue. [5] [7] [12]

The building's narrow design is intended to maximize vantage points to Lake Michigan and Millennium Park from all residences in the tower. [3] [12]
