Nine recently completed skyscrapers in Chicago
From Studio Gang's triple-tower St Regis skyscraper to one of the last projects designed by iconic architect Helmut Jahn, we've rounded up nine skyscrapers completed in Chicago in the last decade.
Below, we've outlined some of the most significant skyscrapers to be built in the lake-side city since 2015. The projects were created by a variety of studios ? some Chicago-based and others international. Goettsch Partners is heavily represented, with four structures that all made it into the city's top 20 tallest.
Chicago is the home of the first skyscraper and holds some of the most iconic tall buildings in the world, from the Willis Tower (formerly Sears Towers) to the corncob-shaped Marina City building, which was the tallest residential structure in the world in the 1960s when it was built. Its skyscraper culture has also been exported. Studios like SOM have had hands in building skyscrapers around the world, breaking records from Chicago to Dubai.

One of the last projects designed by German-American architect Helmut Jahn, this 788-foot-tall skyscraper (223 metres) is located in Chicago's Michigan Avenue Historic District.
The building's podium is more rectilinear with darkly coloured aluminium panels to fit in with the historic buildings on the street, while the top features curved sides clad in glass curtain walls to conform to the modern skyline.
