What began as a neighborhood filled with factories and warehouses has now turned into one of the most popular areas of Chicago. Located west of Michigan Avenue to the Chicago River and North Kinzie to Chicago Avenue, River North is a haven for hotels, convenient transportation and great shopping. River North extends from Wacker Drive (300 N) to Chicago Avenue (800 N) and Sedgwick Street (400 W) to Halsted Street (800 W). It includes zip codes 60610.
The Chicago’s skyline always evolves, located in River North the Trump International Hotel & Tower (330 N Wabash Ave, 312-822-0690) is a 92-story glass skyscraper that was completed in 2008 is the latest significant change to Chicago famous skyline. Mega real estate mogul Donald Trump is the mastermind behind this $75 million venture that added 472 luxury condos, 286 five-star hotel guest rooms and 90,000 square feet of riverfront retail and restaurant space to the River North neighborhood. Reminiscent of the construction of the Sears Tower, Trump Tower has multiple tiers that narrow as the floors ascend. While much taller than the Chicago Sun-Times building that was formerly at this site, the tower’s reflective glass-curtain façade is meant to discretely merge the building with the sky and river, reducing its appearance to fit the city landscape. The Trump Tower also includes a 1.2-acre riverwalk and park to run directly along the Chicago River. A nice touch for any resident in the area.
