The Legacy at Millennium Park is a residential tower that rises from the heart of Chicago’s Loop while seamlessly interacting at street level with the fabric of its landmark neighborhood. The tower maximizes its urban site, incorporating 356 residences and associated amenities with academic space for the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), expanded athletic facilities for the century-old University Club, retail, and residential parking.
The building site is within the Jeweler’s Row Historic District, surrounded by landmark buildings. The development restored the façades of three vacant six-story buildings on the site, and incorporates them into the base of the tower. The Legacy lobby is within the SAIC building and the parking entrance is through the façades on Wabash. The project effectively and thoroughly integrates itself into its existing ground plane context. Building setbacks above the façades allow the Legacy to fit with its small-scaled neighbors. A portion of the tower cantilevers over a private alley on the east side to accent the slender profile of the building from the park and augment the lakefront views to the north and south.
