This is one of the tallest residential buildings reserved for seniors anywhere in the world. |
The building includes 50,000 square feet of classroom space at the bottom to replace two small classroom buildings belonging to Loyola University of Chicago. |
Situated on a trapezoidal lot, the tower curves at the wide angle at Rush and Pearson, and features sawtooth indents on its southwest side. |
The developers contributed $2.7 million towards a city park at State Street and Chicago Avenue in exchange for permission to build 200,000 square feet more than allowed by zoning. |
The tower looks over Lewis Towers onto Water Tower Park and straight down to Lake Michigan over the Museum of Contemporary Art. |
The Chicago Plan Commission approved the building on Thursday, July 10th 2003. |
Construction of this tower began the same day as  Waterview Tower, on February 22, 2006. |
