Facts
Topped with 4 ornamental lanterns, which change color for the Christmas season.
The original design was a postmodern homage to the Vienna Secessionist style of architect Otto Wagner, with a wide arched roof.
The exterior is sheathed in limestone and light reflective green glass.
The building combines 5 major uses:  a seven-story atrium shopping mall; a Four Seasons Hotel; office space in the tower's lower section; condominiums on the higher floors; and one of the city's largest parking garages.
The building consists of a concrete frame built on top of a steel skeleton. Since the building's material switches midway up, the first cranes had to be taken down for two weeks while new cranes for concrete were installed.
Commonly referred to as the "Bloomingdale's Building" because of the shopping mall's anchor tenant.
