Six months since we last checked in at the 101-storey Vista Tower, and Chicago's third-tallest high-rise has now topped off. At 363 metres (1,191 feet), Magellan Development Group and Wanda Group's bKL Architecture- and Studio Gang Architects-designed, three-tower project has become an overnight icon, its unmistakeable silhouette now a defining part of Chicago's world-famous skyline.
Located just east of The Loop, in Chicago's New East Side, Vista Tower is situated mere steps from the waterfront, Millennium Park, and the downtown core. The 101-storey residential tower is on target to become home to 406 luxury suites, which have been designed by Hirsch Bedner Associates to include floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood flooring, and quartz countertops.
Upwards of 600 residents will have access to the 47th floor amenity deck, which will include a fitness centre, games room, lounge, private dining suite, and an outdoor pool and terrace. Below this point, the bottom half of the tower will be occupied by the 210-key Wanda Vista Hotel - the first of its kind in the United States.
Vista Tower is set to open in 2020, its impact upon the city centre to be felt for generations.
