Aqua Facts

- an 82 story mixed use skyscraper in Lakeshore East development;

- Aqua is, by this date, the largest project awarded to an American architectural firm headed by a woman: Jeanne Gang;

- the building will be the first one in Downtown Chicago to combine condos, apartments and a hotel;

- some of the balconies stretch out as much as 12 feet (3.7 meters) providing a wave-like facade to the building; this, of course, was intentionally designed; this together with the name Aqua were chosen to reflect the building’s location next to Lake Michigan.
