Adjacent residential towers feature well-composed façades and spectacular views creating a distinct identity for the phased development.

The Regatta and The Chandler take advantage of spectacular views while contributing to the skyline themselves with well-composed façades and high quality exterior materials. The designs work in conjunction with each other to define the plaza between the two buildings. The Regatta incorporates a tower and a linked low-rise building. Each component functions internally as a single building yet have separate exterior identities. The design reinforces the concept of the development’s original Master Plan for a continuous element along Wacker Drive of five towers alternating with low- to mid-rise buildings in between. The full height glass and masonry construction types of The Chandler establish both views and privacy. The design incorporates an innovative “hybrid” exterior wall system that was the first installation of its kind in the Midwest.
