Wrigley Building
The Wrigley Building
Located on the Magnificent Mile, this commercial skyscraper served as the headquarters for the Wrigley Company. Travelers visit the site primarily to view its bright white terracotta facade and its position along the Chicago River. It serves as a prominent architectural landmark in the city's downtown district.
Getting There
The building is situated in the heart of the city center. From the Loop area, it is accessible via a short walk or a brief ride on public transit. Depending on the starting point within the center, travel time typically ranges from 10 to 20 minutes.
Time Allotment
Since the primary draw is the exterior architecture and the surrounding riverfront, visitors generally spend 30 to 60 minutes here. This allows enough time to walk around the perimeter and observe the facade details.
When to Visit
The white terracotta is highly reflective, making the building visible at different lighting conditions throughout the day. It can get crowded during peak tourist seasons and on weekends, particularly when river cruises are frequent. Visiting during weekday mornings typically avoids the largest crowds.

The location is central to several other landmarks, making it easy to combine with other stops:
