The Montgomery

The Montgomery is a 26-story skyscraper in Chicago's Near North Side, built in 1972 as the headquarters of the Montgomery Ward Company. The 123-meter-tall building was designed by architect Minoru Yamasaki, who was also designing the World Trade Center at the same time. The tower originally served as the company's administrative center. In 2005 and 2006, the building underwent a comprehensive renovation and was converted to residential use. Today, this historic high-rise, prominently situated in the Chicago skyline, houses a mix of modern apartments that reflect the city's transformation and the adaptive reuse of office buildings.
