Legacy at Millennium Park
Overview
The Legacy at Millennium Park is a 72-story, 822-foot residential skyscraper in downtown Chicago. Travelers visit primarily to view its slender modern architecture from street level and nearby green spaces, where it stands as one of the city's tallest structures.
Getting There
Located in the Loop district, the site is reachable on foot within 5 to 10 minutes from central downtown. Multiple CTA train stations and bus routes along Michigan Avenue stop within two blocks.
Visiting Time
Allow 15 to 30 minutes to view the exterior and photograph the facade from surrounding sidewalks.
