200 West Madison
200 West Madison is a skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois. The building rises 599 feet (182 m)[2] in the Chicago Loop.[4] It contains 45 floors, and was completed in 1982.[2] 200 West Madison currently stands as the 52nd-tallest building in the city. The architectural firm who designed the building was Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the same firm who designed Chicago's Willis Tower and John Hancock Center and the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
The building was designed with a "sawtooth edge," and incorporates six corners onto the southeast face of the building.[4] Thus, the building has nine corner offices on most of its floors.[4] Originally named "Madison Plaza," the building was proposed to have a twin tower located on the lot situated south of the tower.[4] However, plans for a second tower were ultimately abandoned. Six years later, in 1988, the Miglin-Beitler Skyneedle was proposed for construction on the same lot, adjacent to 200 West Madison.[4] Plans called for 125-story tower that was to rise 2,000 ft (610 m).[5] However, that plan was also eventually cancelled. The lot is now the site of a parking garage.[4]
200 West Madison is the location of "Dawn Shadows," a famous black metal sculpture created by Louise Berliawsky Nevelson.[4] The sculpture was brought to the plaza in 1983.
Tenants
