The Wrigley Building is a skyscraper located directly across Michigan Avenue from the Tribune Tower on the Magnificent Mile. It was built to house the corporate headquarters of the Wrigley Company.HistoryWhen ground was broken for the Wrigley Building in 1920, there were no major office buildings north of the Chicago River and the Michigan Avenue Bridge, which spans the river just south of the building, was still under construction. The land was selected by chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr. for the headquarters of his company. The building was designed by the architectural firm of Graham, Anderson, Probst & White using the shape of the Giralda tower of Seville's Cathedral combined with French Renaissance details. The 425ft south tower was completed in April 1921 and the north tower in May 1924. Walkways between the towers were added at the ground level and the third floor. In 1931, another walkway was added at the fourteenth floor to connect to offices of a bank in accordance with a Chicago statute concerning bank branch offices. The two towers, not including the levels below Michigan Avenue, have a combined area of 453433sqft.The two towers are of differing heights, with the south tower rising to 30 stories and the north tower to 21 stories. On the south tower is a clock with faces pointing in all directions. Each face is 19ft in diameter. The building is clad in glazed terra-cotta, which provides its gleaming white façade. On occasion, the entire building is hand washed to preserve the terra cotta. At night, the building is brightly lit with floodlights.
The Wrigley Building is one of the few business locations in the world that needs no other address. Designed by Graham, Anderson, Probst & White, this icon of Chicago’s celebrated Magnificent Mile has welcomed generations of tenants proud to call The Wrigley Building their home. A comprehensive renovation has transformed The Wrigley Building into a model business environment for the future of business. For select office tenants who want a landmark address with the latest upgrades — in an unrivaled location with the city’s most spectacular views — The Wrigley Building is the premier choice.

Vitzthum, who designed another Chicago landmark, the historic One North LaSalle Building.Randolph Tower was built for the Steuben Club of Chicago to promote German-American heritage.

Crain Communications Building is a 49-story, 582 foot skyscraper located at 150 North Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago, Illinois. It was also known as the Smurfit–Stone Building and the Stone Container Building and was formerly called the Associates Center. Construction began in 1983 and was completed in 1984. The building, noted for its unusually slanted facade, was designed by Sheldon Schlegman of A. Epstein and Sons. The building has 41 floors of tenant space and the two spires at the top cover the main roof and HVAC equipment.HistoryAlthough the building looks as though it is split down the middle, the two sides are only slightly disjointed until nearing the top, where there is a gap between them. At times, its slanted roof—which has been likened to a skyscraper slashed with a knife—displays local sports slogans on its face, such as "GO BEARS" and "GO SOX". It also displayed "VOTE 2008" during the 2008 election day rally at Grant Park.At the time of its construction the Crain Communications Building was considered to be a smart building, with sophisticated environmental and security controls. Three years after its completion, the building played a role in the Touchstone Pictures film Adventures in Babysitting. The building is also modeled in EA's SimCity 4, as well as being destroyed in the film Transformers: Dark of the Moon and in the videogame Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2.
In a city that is internationally known for its architecture, the Monroe Building at 104 S. Michigan Avenue stands out as one of Chicago’s most distinguished buildings and one with an especially impressive ancestry. Completed in 1912, the Monroe Building has a distinctive presence among the architectural masterpieces that stand side-by-side along Michigan Avenue across from historic Grant Park. Most were built between 1880’s and 1930, a fertile time in Chicago’s architectural history. Because these buildings prominently faced “Chicago’s front yard” and were highly visible symbols of the city itself, the developers and architects gave these buildings their best. Looking today along this stretch of the Michigan Avenue Boulevard, it almost seems as if the collective work of some of Chicago’s most distinguished architects have lined up for a group portrait. It’s not hard to notice the Monroe Building amidst its distinguished neighbors along Michigan Avenue across from Millennium Park and the historic Art Institute of Chicago dating back to the 1893 Worlds Columbian Exposition. Its strong grid-like exterior is in the best tradition of Chicago’s innovative skyscraper designs of the period and honestly expresses the supporting metal skeleton within. At the same time, its geometry is softened by a delicate exterior skin of granite and molded terra cotta, a stylistically eclectic composition that was described at the time of completion as being “Gothic” in origin. The Monroe Building was designed by Holabird & Roche in 1912. The renovation of the building was completed by successor Holabird & Root in 2012 on the 100th anniversary of the opening of the original building. The building, sited prominently within Chicago’s Michigan Avenue Boulevard Historic District, was initially designed to complement the adjacent University Club. Together, these buildings create an architectural gateway to the City’s Central Business District. The design of the renovation was charged with both the accurate restoration of the exterior elements and interior public spaces, along with the renovation of tenant spaces and infrastructure to provide amenities to businesses that are competitive with new real estate on and around Michigan Avenue. When Jennifer N. Pritzker purchased the 217,978 s.f. building in 2006 she saw the potential of this architectural gem and committed to a complete renovation and restoration of the building on a scale rarely attempted. The historic elements of the building were repaired or restored to the highest level of preservation standards. Original drawings, historic photos and found fragments provided the information to direct the design of public areas toward the original design intent of the building. The building façade’s deteriorated or missing terra cotta units were replaced in kind to match the original pieces in size, varied textures and the complex triple-spot glazing. The environmental cleaning process removed the carbon and atmospheric pollution from the building elevations to reveal the subtle horizontal striped pattern in the coursing. The cast-iron entrances and ornamental fan shaped iron work was recreated per the original drawings and photographs. The green Spanish clay arched tile roof was replaced to match the original and the skylights were reestablished in their original locations. The interior renovation included restoration of the ground floor lobby. Rookwood tile walls and vaults, as well as the entire floor, were restored by replacement tile, which were manufactured by the Rookwood Tile & Pottery Company to match the original materials. Tenant elevator lobbies were restored throughout the building, reestablishing the original cast iron elevator grillages and Rookwood tile floors. The Monroe Building is honored to house the award winning Pritzker Military Museum & Library on floors two through four. Dedicated to the story of the Citizen Soldier in American history, the Museum & Library is open to the public with a collection of books and gallery exhibits, along with live events in a two-story lecture hall and broadcast center. The design of the Library and display of the special artifacts and materials are part of this one-of-a-kind collection. The fourth floor of the building and Library includes two spacious conference rooms that are ideal for executive meetings of any size. Both rooms are fully-equipped with state-of-the-art teleconferencing and multimedia projection capabilities. Rental inquiries are welcome for these and other library facilities. Just in time for its centennial, the Monroe Building has undergone a faithful restoration led by a committed new owner. This classic building enters a new century with a full complement of the features tenants want most: • Unobstructed lake, park and city views • All new building, security and IT systems, HVAC, electric and plumbing • A full-service data center with server hosting • Indoor bike storage • New fitness center and conference facilities • Discounted indoor parking adjacent to the building • Convenient access to public transportation Property Manager - Paul J.
