Chicago skyscraper city 2017

It comprises three blocks with undulating blue-green glass facades, which will rise to 46, 70 and 95 storeys. American-German architect Helmut Jahn 's tower for Chicago's South Loop is expected to top out at feet metres and house high-end residences.

Jahn's design includes curving facades, with glass portions broken up by opaque metallic bands marking each floor plate, and a top surrounded by metal mesh. Proposed as a pair of skyscrapers, the One Grant Park scheme's first tower will climb to feet metres at East Roosevelt Road, in the South Loop neighbourhood. Its neighbour is slated to be built just to the west. New York-based Robert AM Stern designed this storey skyscraper with predominantly stone facades, in contrast with the fully glazed towers on this list, as a nod to Chicago's architectural history.

The building will contain residences and feature a park by landscape architecture firm Michael Van Valkenburgh at its base. To be built immediately beside the Chicago River, Goettsch Partners ' design for this foot metre office tower has been approved by the city, but is awaiting an anchor tenant before construction begins.
