Marina City rises along the Chicago River at 300 North State Street, completed in 1964 to a design by architect Bertrand Goldberg. Its twin cylindrical towers reach 587 feet across 61 floors, combining apartments with a marina, theater, and parking within the same complex. The Wrigley Building stands nearby at 400-410 North Michigan Avenue, built in two phases between 1920 and 1924 for the William Wrigley Jr. Company and clad in glazed terra cotta. Trump International Hotel & Tower, completed in 2009 from designs by architect Adrian Smith, reaches 1,388 feet across 98 floors, ranking among the tallest buildings along the river.

The Chicago skyline extends along Lake Michigan from North Avenue Beach on the city’s North Side. The John Hancock Center, now 875 North Michigan Avenue, stands among the high-rises of the Gold Coast and Streeterville. Chicago’s lakefront park and beach system maintains public access along much of the city’s eastern edge.
