Now known as 875 North Michigan Avenue, the former John Hancock Center is a 100-story skyscraper in the heart of Chicago's Magnificent Mile. Completed in 1969, its structural expressionist design is famous for its distinctive X-bracing exterior, which allows for open floor plans and great height. The building houses a mix of residential apartments, offices, and retail spaces. Its observation deck, 360 Chicago, offers stunning views of Lake Michigan and the city's vast skyline, including the "Tilt" attraction that leans visitors over the edge of the building. The tower’s unique tapered shape and black steel facade have made it an architectural icon of the late 20th century. It stands as a testament to Chicago's history as a pioneer of skyscraper design and remains one of the city's most recognizable landmarks.
