About the place

East Loop high-rises define the commercial skyline through distinct post-modern setbacks and concrete engineering.

Designed by the architectural firm Loebl Schlossman and Hackl, the skyscraper stands in the Loop district with a distinctive pyramidal crown and stacked chevron setbacks along its facade. The structural design earned recognition from the Structural Engineers Association of Illinois for its reinforced concrete construction and attached layout connecting to the adjacent older corporate tower.
