(213 m) tall skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois, located at 444 West Lake Street. The 52-story building has 1,000,000 sq ft (92,900 m²) of floor space. It sits on air rights above active railroad tracks and as well the subway portion of the CTA Blue Line, which affected the angle of some support columns, which in turn produced the parabolic arch in the base of the building. Groundbreaking and main tenantsIt was developed by Hines and designed by Pickard Chilton. The building was designed before the Great Recession of the early 21st century, and constructed after it.[1] A groundbreaking ceremony was held for the tower in January 2013.[2] The building is seeking Gold LEED certification.[3] The building became the headquarters of Morton Salt in December 2016.[4] The anchor tenant is the law firm McDermott Will & Emery, which occupies 225,000 sq ft of office space,[5] and it moved in to River Point in March 2017.[6] Mead Johnson also relocated its headquarters from suburban Glenview to the building.[7] LocationThe land on which this tower stands is known as River Point because it lies at the point where the North and South branches of the Chicago River form. It is between Canal Street and the Chicago River, and north of another skyscraper, 150 North Riverside, completed a few months later in 2017, which is also built on air rights over the railroad tracks leading to the Amtrak station to the south of both properties. As required by the city of Chicago, the building also includes a 1.5 acres public park[8] and a landscaped riverwalk that is open to the public. To accommodate the land required for the public park and river walk it is built over a set of active railroad tracks. ReceptionThe building's design reflects its location well, where the two branches of the Chicago River begin, with critic Blair Kamin noting "its exuberant curves" and how it reflects the river, like the impressive building across the river from it, 333 Wacker Drive.[1] It was the first new downtown skyscraper to open in seven years, due to the Great Recession. Kamin points out how the structure of this building is affected by the once-surface railroad tracks and the CTA Blue Line subway tunnel running beneath it, requiring a tilt in some support columns. That tilt results in "the building's most distinctive feature: the tall parabolic arch at its base".[1] Kamin concludes that the site demanded, and this building delivered "a memorable statement".[1] See also
