Glad to see this building and Jeanne Gang getting the credit they so richly deserve. I am from the age of Chicago tall buildings having been a concrete laborer on the Hancock Center and later an intern at SOM working for Fazlur Kahn on Sears. Had good friends working on the Standard Oil building over at Perkins and Will. Heady days - Glad to see Jeanne doing well at what she loves.
I’ve always wanted to check the interior of this masterpiece ever since this project was completed. Thx for this video! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ms. Gang comes across as very authentic and likeable. Cheers to all involved here.
I don't love the blow-through section until this video is just thought the building was unfinished the rest of the building is absolutely beautiful!
Stunning building, and it's actually the second tallest if you count just building height and not the height of a spire or antenna.
Do the newly completed salesforce tower next, such a great addition to the river taking place of that unsightly surface parking lot that use to be there.
I love what she does in the City! I still love Aqua the best!
Beautiful skyscraper!
Thank you so much for this story.
Just absolutely beautiful❤❤❤
This building is beautiful at day, but at night it’s sooo underwhelming. They should add lights on the blow through floor to add to the skyscraper/skyline
Yes I notice that with us are building’s a faintly lit at night if at all Trump tower, One Chicago and here the st Regis aka vista.
@@iwouldliketoorderanumber1b79 Right, I love how NYC has their buildings lit up
@@cowser67 almost all of the tall building has nice lighting at the top even the older skyscrapers. Maybe the developers here are cheap and want to save on electricity. Lol
Sears has lit antennas that change color, Aon has a large light band going around the top, Trump has a color changing spire, John Hancock has a light band going around the top, but Vista desperately needs something. Maybe like lights going around the top of each of the 3 individual buildings.
@@deathstar286 Yeah hopefully but doubtful
Don't judge me...one of favorite buildings in Chicago is the Inland Steele Building. I know it is a cookie-cutter/ run- of-the-mil mid-century-mod building, but there is something about its quiet, understated elegance to me. It is at the corner of Monroe and Deaborn.
No way could I live that high in the air! My anxiety levels are rising just lying here watching this😫
You would have money, and that would buy a lot of Valium.
I'd love to see art deco come back. 1920s had the most beautiful buildings.
Perfetto grande
I don't always look at chiago downtown city, always as I drive close to the place. ❤
Actually they discovered AFTER they were building it that the wind loads would cause excessive movement and instead of using a tuned mass damper to solve the problem they went cheap and left a glaring and arguably ugly blow thru floor that forever scars the chicago skyline and is a testament to building permits approved without any kind of technical review.
I worked in Chicago construction for years.....I was always proud of the fact that Chicago City Engineers usually had a better understanding of engineering than say NYC. I have to say that that is not necessarily so today.

Stanza piu grazie 🙏
Please come to Sacramento...we need help...
I'm so moving there. Do they take Section 8 ?
Section 8?

19 million seems very steep for that very dull interior penthouse. Only the view is appealing.
St regis chicago Illinois yeah uso

😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲❗
Just another glass high rise
Beautiful building. I usually hate the boring glass boxes and it really doesn't take much to make them interesting.
Yes, the subtle stepping in size with each floor plate makes the glass facade look much more visually appealing.
@@jokerace8227 Absolutely zero visual appeal with that hideous proportional width to height ratio. Basically three thin buildings touching like an awkward train. Buildings have always had a basis understanding of nice and proportional, whereas this is just..a mess.
News st regis chicago 108 skyline 😊

Nah. Big call the Michigan bit. Human eye can't see that far.
And, how subscribed is it?

Guaranteed it was mostly some nameless engineer that came up with that design and did all the hard work and she's just taking credit
🕊🌎🕊🕊sharing🫂thankYOU
She chose the materials for cost savings, not artistic value.
Oh give me a break. Every building ever built ever involves a series of tradeoffs between cost, performance, utility, aesthetics, etc. This isn't anything new.
@@RageCage1701 simply untrue, but you're just a little corporate incel, so have at it.
I completely agree. It belongs in Miami.
The truth is somewhere in the middle
I'm guessing Trump is still celebrating because he still has the second tallest building.
😂 Trump cannot get funding to secure bond in NY but he has procured the most Stains 💩in his Hanes.
Is it still only Willis tower which is taller than trump tower , what about Hancock's
@@oddsandwindsocks5905 Trump is still no. 2:
1. Willis Tower (1,451 feet tall - 108 floors)
2. Trump Tower (1,388 feet tall - 98 floors)
3. St. Regis (1,198 feet tall - 101 floors). This used to be called the Wanda Vista Tower - completed in 2020.
4. Aon Center (1,136 feet tall - 83 floors) - formerly the Standard Oil building.
5. 875 North Michigan (formerly John Hancock - 1,127 feet tall - 100 floors).
6. Franklin Center (formerly AT&T - 1,007 feet tall - 61 floors).
Not for long!! Tribune east tower coming soon
Trump doesn’t own the building. It’s a lease and branding agreement.
This is obscenely decadent housing for the elites-only!
Towering over the street level homeless and economic disadvantaged!
I would be far more impressed for something beautiful that has granted dignity and access to the less privileged!
Why can’t the middle classes be provided for, as well as the poor!
The rich can easily provide for themselves!
it is a stupid building
Uninspiring IMO. It's just tall. Reminds me of a guitar. I think architects have run out of ideas
A glass building is a glass building. The Empire State, Chrysler building will hold your attention longer
Chicago wasn’t building that tall then and also a lot of height restrictions but do have some smaller towers from that era like the Palmolive building and Chicago stock exchange that was also in Batman the dark knight.
You’re probably a NEW YORKER 🙄, CHICAGO IS THE BIRTH PLACE OF THE FIRST TALLEST SKYSCRAPER …… EVER’ 😳.

To understand this correctl you have to keep in mind the meaning of a skyscraper. But you can't credit it as the first. A skyscraper is a design that has a inner skeleton that holds everything, and supports itself by the cladding (as opposed to stacked brick which adds strong foundation).
Did you know that the Home insurance building built in 1885 at 13 stories, was 10 years too late for the title of the tallest skyscraper/foundation tower (not counting major churches). It would be the NEW YORK TRIBUNE building in 1875 that held the title till the World building which was built ironically right next in 1890.
