Facts
The northwest corner of the building is an acute angle with a four-story rectangular opening near the top.
A 20 story companion tower of similar design, but pointing the opposite way, was originally proposed on the adjacent lot.
The lobby's wall extends beyond the building to frame a small plaza by the building's pointed corner.
Before Kenzo Tange was hired to design the building, Johnson/Burgee Associates were slated as the architects.
The land to the south is a landscaped park with fountains and terraces leading up to Wabash Avenue.
