The building's site previously held a parking lot owned by the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago.
[1] The Archdiocese began seeking a development partner to build a structure on the site through real estate-focused investment bank Eastdil in 2016.
[5] Goettsch Partners and Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture designed the buildings.
[7] When completed, the taller of the two towers was to be the eighth-tallest structure in Chicago with an anticipated 78 stories,[8] although a final height was determined and a spire may have been added to the design.
