River Point Tower
This LEED Platinum riverfront development includes a 52-story office tower, four above-grade parking levels, and a 1.5-acre public plaza spanning six active, at-grade rail lines and a Chicago Transit Authority subway line. The striking arched-shaped wedges carved out at the top and bottom are defined by the sloped column design—an innovative structural solution allowing clear spans of up to 135 ft to avoid the existing tracks.
