Wolf Point East

The Wolf Point East Tower is a modern high-rise in downtown Chicago, located in the Near North Side neighborhood at the confluence of the Chicago River. The second-tallest building in a three-tower complex on the historic Wolf Point site, it rises about 60 stories and roughly 201 meters (660 feet) into the sky. The project, originally planned as a mixed-use development, was redesigned in 2016 as a purely residential building with 698 units. Construction began in 2017 and has since been completed, after the building opened for its first residents in January 2016.

The project's history was marked by intense debate and planning changes. After the Kennedy family first announced it in 2012, the original designs drew considerable criticism, which led to a revision with more open space. Despite legal disputes over sight lines and the character of the site, the project was approved. The architecture is by Pelli Clarke Pelli in collaboration with Pappageorge Haymes Partners. For visitors and residents alike, the tower offers not only a central location near the Merchandise Mart, but also modern living space that reflects the urban character of Chicago.
