The Donald was here, at least he was seen at the ground breaking. Today, Trump tower is nearly complete. Topping out at 1,170 feet, the structure is the second tallest in the city and the country. Our news office is directly across the street. If you're ever in the hotel gym, wave to the engineers who can see you jogging on the treadmill.

The tower utilized the highest strength concrete ever used in Chicago. The project was also challenged by being directly adjacent to the Chicago river. The construction team used that to it's advantage, however, as much of the construction materials were transported by barge. The building was designed by Skidmore Owings & Merrill Architects (SOM) and their in-house engineers.
