333 Wacker Drive

Curved Glass Masterpiece


Off The Beaten Path

Address:
333 W Wacker Dr
Chicago, IL 60606

Description

This 1983 office tower is one of the modern masterpieces of Chicago's skyline. Designed by New York architect Kohn Pederson Fox, it's an impressive example of a building designed on an irregular site: one side of the building faces the square grid streets of the Loop, the other side looks out over the curving Chicago River. Go for a stroll down Wacker Drive to see why Chicago is considered the city of architects.
