The 87-story Aqua Tower<\/strong> is a fresh addition to Chicago\u2019s skyline. But a closer look from within the Windy City\u2019s East Lakeshore neighborhood reveals the sculpted structure\u2019s special character\u2014a vertical topography exterior that draws people to and from the high-rise like a powerful riptide.<\/p>\n

Aqua Tower’s rippled design exterior projects the appearance of moving waves.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Shaped by the urban city forces, the tower\u2019s uniqueness revolves around community\u2014and water\u2014both perceived and real. Blocks from Lake Michigan and Millennium Park, the Aqua Tower displays a unique design where virtual water inconceivably swells up the building\u2019s fa\u00e7ade. This wave-like effect is created by fluid exterior contours, sinuous outdoor terraces, and blueish glass\u2014which together give the appearance that the tower is undulating. Aqua Tower is an imaginative, modern illusion rooted in function and aesthetically-inspired by nature.<\/p>\n

\"Aqua<\/a><\/p>\n

Ironically, the best vantage point may be from inside the Aqua Tower units.\u00a0The high-rise offers sweeping views from the twining terraces that\u00a0allow residents and tenants to inhabit the fa\u00e7ade and the outdoors. No two balconies are alike. From floor to floor, terraces (cantilevered up to 12 feet) inflect based on view, solar shading, and size and type of dwelling. The tower also boasts\u00a0Chicago\u2019s largest recreation deck\u2014an 80,000 square-foot area with an outdoor pool, running track, gardens, fire pits, and a yoga terrace.<\/p>\n

Aqua Tower is a 1.9 million square-foot mixed-use high-rise showcasing 24% luxury rental apartments (floors 19\u00a0to\u00a052); 21% condominiums (floors 53\u00a0to\u00a080); 14% hotel rooms (floors 4 to 18); 3% offices and retail; and underground parking. Contoured exteriors flow into contemporary studio, convertible, one- or two-bedroom luxury apartments that rent for\u00a0$1,900 to 4,000 per month, according to Magellan. Finishes include floor-to-ceiling windows, tiled entries, full granite kitchens with contemporary wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and in-home laundry.<\/p>\n

\"Luxury<\/a>
Luxury one-bedroom units range from $2,500 to $3,000 per month<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Launched in 2004 and completed in 2010, the $350 million building is the brainchild of lead architect Jeanne Gang<\/strong> and her Chicago-base firm, Studio Gang Architects<\/a>. Studio Gang partnered with Magellan Development Group LLC and Loewenberg Architects on the ambitious project. Aqua Tower is more than a pretty fa\u00e7ade. A 2010 Distinguished Building Honor Award winner (AIA Chicago), the tower\u2019s strong identity makes it a landmark addition to the Chicago skyline.<\/p>\n
