The Blue Cross Blue Shield Tower rises 57 stories along Randolph Street in Chicago's Loop, completed in 1997 with an addition finished in 2010 that brought it to 1.13 million square feet. Its crown display can be programmed for holidays and civic occasions, including New Year's messages. The building serves as headquarters for Health Care Service Corporation, the parent of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois. Nearby, Aon Center and the Smurfit-Stone Building's diamond-shaped top form part of the same stretch of skyline along Michigan Avenue and Randolph Street.
