Facts

The exterior walls are not a true curtain wall, since they are welded to a plate that is joined to the steel frame.
860 and its twin at 880 Lake Shore Drive are among the few steel-framed residential highrises in Chicago. (See also the John Hancock Center, The Constellation, and Erie on the Park.).
