The Legacy at Millennium Park is a 72-story skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois, United States, located along S. Wabash Avenue, near E. Monroe Street. At 822 feet (251 meters), it is the 18th-tallest building in Chicago.[2]
The residential tower and mixed-use podium, designed by the architectural firm Solomon, Cordwell, Buenz,[5] contains 360 luxury condominium units and 460 parking spaces.[6] The building includes 41,000 sq ft (3,800 m2) of classroom space for the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the lower floors,[7][8] athletic facilities for the neighboring University Club, a sky-bridge between the University Club and the building podium, and private amenities for tower residents including an athletics and aquatic center as well as residential lounges located throughout the tower.[9][10][11] The building preserves the historic masonry and terracotta facades of the Chicago Landmark Jewelers Row District along Wabash Avenue.[5][7][12]
The building's narrow design is intended to maximize vantage points to Lake Michigan and Millennium Park from all residences in the tower.[3][12]
