Designed by Helmut Jahn and Kara Mann, the building is a 73-story, 832-foot (253.6 m) tall tower located at 1000 South Michigan Avenue.

[5] The showroom also contained a video wall that displayed the view as would be seen from whatever unit a potential buyer is considering, thanks to footage recorded using helicopters and drones.

[citation needed] The tower is capped with a 2 story east facing amenity space including an protected terrace with views toward Lake Michigan.

Karlik added of the architect, "Helmut was very passionate" about the exterior design of 1000 South Michigan Avenue.

[14] Instead of the more common setback architectural design, the original building would have had overhangs on its south face with successively larger rising cubes that Blair Kamin referred to as presenting a "striking, if somewhat precarious, effect".

[15] In February 2016, The Landmark Commission considered formalizing a 900-foot (274.3 m) height restriction in the region of the historic district between 8th and 11th streets.

[18] Subsequently, the tower's height was scaled-back to 832 feet (253.6 m) and the building was redesigned to employ the current curving silhouette.

[citation needed] The building also contains 80,000 square feet of amenities, including a rooftop observation deck, a fitness center, and pools.
