Story

Chicago’s State Street has traditionally symbolized the muscular spirit of the city. The northeast corner of State and Randolph was the site for Burnham and Root’s Masonic Temple (1890-92), and Burnham’s renowned Marshall Field’s (now Macy’s) department store still stands across the street. This multi-use urban building composed of retail, commercial, and residential space brings active life to the State Street renaissance.

Four stories of retail and commercial space - including the new headquarters for The Joffrey Ballet - provide a strong base for two, eight-story "legs" that lift 23 stories of condominiums up to capture lake views to the east. A sculptural curtain wall of aluminum and glass creates dynamic texture of light and shadow to continue the spirit of Chicago’s strength, clarity, and directness.
