Facts
The initially announced plan was taller, with a sharp, hundred-foot pyramid on top. In early 2002 it was shortened to 493.13 feet by removing the pyramid, but in early 2005 a hipped roof was added to the design. |
This is the tallest brick-clad building in Chicago. |
The building is located by the southwest corner of Grant Park, on the former site of the Avenue Motel. |
