When finished in 1968, the two towers of Marina City were both the tallest residential buildings and the tallest reinforced concrete structures in the world. Marina City was the first post-war urban high-rise residential complex in the United States and is widely credited with beginning the residential renaissance of American inner cities.

When it was opened in 1930, the Merchandise Mart was the largest building in the world, with 4 million square feet of floor space. The Merchandise Mart is so large that it had its own ZIP Code (60654) until 2008, when the Postal Service expanded the ZIP Code to include parts of the surrounding area.

Beginning in September 2018, Art on the MART provides a nightly public platform for moving image work by renowned local, national and international multi-disciplinary artists. Unique programs run nightly for about 6 weeks each in the Spring, Summer and Fall. A custom weatherproof projector room sits along the Chicago River directly across from the Merchandise Mart, housing the 34 projectors used to the display artwork onto the Mart.

When ground was broken for the Wrigley Building in 1920, there were no major office buildings north of the Chicago River. The Michigan Avenue Bridge, which spans the river just south of the building, was still under construction. The land was selected by chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr. for the headquarters of his company.
