Official Building Website URL:
Skyscrapers.com (Emporis.info) URL: http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=100429
Architect: Lucien Lagrange Architects
Interesting Facts/Records (in own words): Built on a parallelogram-shaped site on what was formerly an extension of Kingsbury Street. Before construction the site was crossed by grade-level railroad tracks.
- The building is positioned dramatically at a northern terminus of Kingsbury Street, a diagonal thoroughfare that runs parallel to the river.
- The east and west façades are each braced against the wind by nine stacked chevron braces.
- The lobby is an exceptionally high 30 feet, and is connected to a parking garage behind the building.
- Several setbacks at the top provide outdoor terraces for the penthouse apartments.
- Constructed earlier than its namesake, a square-block park on the Chicago River across Erie Street. During the park's planning stages four skyscrapers were being built around its perimeter, partly in anticipation of the views.
- A rare example of a steel-framed residential tower; the lobby and the second level are built of concrete but the rest of the structure, including the core, is a steel megaframe.
