Facts
The building has a terraced one-acre plaza on its west side with fountains and landscaping. |
At the time of completion "2 Pru" was the world's second tallest reinforced concrete building. |
The distinctive shape features stacked chevron setbacks on the north & south sides, a sharp pyramidal peak rotated 45°, and an 80-foot spire. |
Joined at the lobby level to the much older One Prudential Plaza. Without its spire Two Prudential only barely passes the height of One Pru's antenna. |
In 1995 this building won the Best Structure Award from the Structural Engineers Association of Illinois. |
