River Point, previously known as 200 North Riverside Plaza, is a 52 story 730 ft. (213 m) tall skyscraper currently under construction in Chicago, Illinois. The 52 floor building will have 92,900 m² of floors space. It is being developed by Hines and designed by Pickard Chilton. A groundbreaking ceremony was held for the tower in January 2013.[1] The building is seeking Gold LEED certification. [2]

The anchor tenant is the law firm McDermott Will & Emery and will occupy 225,000 sq ft of office space.[3]

Location

The land on which this tower is being constructed is also known as River Point as it lies at a point in the Chicago River where the north and south branches form.

As required by the city of Chicago, the building will also include a 1.5 acres public park[4] and a landscaped riverwalk that is open to the public. To accommodate the land required for the public park and river walk it will be built on top of a set of active railroad tracks.
