Dearborn Center Chicago Building
This skyscraper building is designed like a classical column with a heavy base, a projecting cornice at the top and curved walls on each side.
Its gleaming stainless steel and glass surfaces reflect the vitality of Chicago’s business centre, this new landmark across the street from the Mies Van Der Rohe, is now the flagship building of an international company.
The building consists of two parts, a low rise section on State Street, and a square high-rise tower to the west on Dearborn. The existing foundations on the site were preserved and used to support the new tower.

Citadel Center is a 580ft (177m) tall skyscraper at 131 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, Illinois 60603, designed by Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill.
The 44th tallest building in Chicago was completed in 2003 and has 39 floors. A limited-edition cast of the Winged Victory of Samothrace, one of the world’s most famous sculptures, is the showpiece of the main lobby. It was the first building in Chicago to use a raised-floor pressurized plenum system. This allowed for air to be pumped in through the floors for individuals to control their climates using floor diffusers.
