Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s the unique silhouette of the Heller International Building rising above us. Completed in 1992, this architectural marvel stands tall as the tallest building west of the Chicago River. Designed by the renowned firm Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, the Heller International Building boasts a distinctive postmodern design. You can’t miss its most striking feature: the turret at the southeast corner that gracefully ascends approximately 45 stories high. As night falls, the turret twinkles to life, adorned with an elegant string of white lights, illuminating the Chicago skyline. While the building stands tall at 600 feet, don’t just admire it from afar. Step closer and enter the grand rotunda located beneath the tower, which serves as the main entrance. Prepare to be amazed by the lavishly decorated lobby that awaits you inside. And for those who appreciate thoughtful architectural details, look for the arched passageway outside. This sheltered walkway provides a safe haven for pedestrians strolling along Monroe Street.
