333 Wacker Drive
It’s not the tallest. It’s not the most expensive. But 333 West Wacker is still one of the superstars of the Chicago skyline. The main feature of this office tower is the great blue-green curve of glass that it presents to the northwest, as the Chicago River splits into its Northern and Southern branches. Much has been written about how this curve reflects the setting sun and bathes the building in a fiery display. We haven’t seen it. One freezing February afternoon we sat along Wacker Drive as the sun set behind us and waited for light show. What we saw was the building running through progressively darker shades of green until the sun completely set. We’ll have to try the experiment again in the warm weather.
