Downtown Chicago skyline at night with Willis Tower and the John Hancock Center among illuminated high-rises. — Downtown Chicago skyline at night includes Willis Tower and the John Hancock Center among the high-rises of the Loop and Near North Side. The towers are major reference points in Chicago’s central business district and lakefront skyline. The view dates to March 2014, before the John Hancock Center was renamed 875 North Michigan Avenue.

190 South LaSalle, Marina City, and 875 North Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago. — 190 South LaSalle Street in Chicago's Loop stands among downtown high-rises, with Marina City to the right and 875 North Michigan Avenue near the lakefront. The postmodern office tower at 190 South LaSalle was designed by Johnson/Burgee Architects and completed in 1987. Marina City, designed by Bertrand Goldberg and completed in the 1960s, combined apartments, parking, offices, retail, and entertainment in a major mixed-use complex on the Chicago River.

The mixed-use Trump tower was completed in 2009 and designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Marina City, completed in the 1960s, is a pair of residential towers designed by Bertrand Goldberg. Lake Michigan and the John Hancock Center are visible beyond the central business district.

The State Street Bridge crosses the Chicago River, with the Marina City towers visible to the west in downtown Chicago. — The State Street Bridge spans the Chicago River in downtown Chicago, connecting the Loop to the Near North Side. Completed in 1949, this bascule bridge replaced an earlier structure and is a vital artery for vehicular and pedestrian traffic. To the west, the distinctive Marina City towers, designed by Bertrand Goldberg and completed in 1964, rise above the riverfront. These mixed-use buildings, with their unique cylindrical design, were a pioneering development in urban living and remain a prominent feature of the Chicago skyline.
