This is the Construction of the Aqua Tower in Chicago from its Site Prep in late 2006 till today. The Aqua will be an 87-story skyscraper in the Lakeshore East area of Chicago. It will border North Columbus Drive and East South Water Street. The architect is Jeanne Gang.
The façade will be glass with undulating balconies which change slightly from floor to floor giving it a rippling effect. The balconies will extend as far as 12 feet (3.7 meters) from the glass wall in some places.
The building will contain 55,000 square feet (5,100 square meter) of retail and office space, in addition to 210 hotels rooms (floors 1-18), 476 rental residential units (floors 19-52), and 263 condominium units & Penthouses (floors 53-80). Aqua will also be the first downtown building to combine condos, apartments and a hotel. Strategic Hotels & Resorts has agreed to acquire the first 15 floors of hotel space upon completion of the building.
