Standing at 876 feet tall across 82 stories, Aqua Tower stands out as a community-incorporating skyscraper. Housing a hotel, offices, rental apartments, condos, parking, and a significant green roof, Aqua facilitates strong connections among residents and the city. The tower's innovative design captures and reimagines the organic human and outdoor interactions common at lower altitudes. Its unique appearance arises from varied floor slabs guided by factors like views, sunlight, and function. Thoughtful sculpting of each floor provides comfortable terraces for casual neighbor interactions and views of Chicago landmarks, shaped by density, environment, and use considerations.
