Architecture and history

Completed in 1987, the 40-floor twin towers are joined at their first several floors by a city-block long podium containing a large trading floor.[1]

The building contain over 2,300,000 square feet (210,000 m2) of floorspace.[1]

A 2020 lobby-level renovation altered the shape of the glass walls on its lower level to better-accommodate pedestrian patterns.[1][2]

The building's ground level contains a promenade along the Chicago River, considered to be a component of a greater system of riverwalks along the river.[3][4]
