Loebl Schlossman & Hackl designed the tower, with Stephen T. Wright as principal in charge of design, CBM Engineers as structural engineer and Turner Construction as contractor. Construction started in 1988 and finished in 1990. The article names no original developer.
It has 64 stories and an architectural height of 995 feet (303 m), five feet short of 1,000, topped by an 80-foot (24 m) spire on a pyramidal peak rotated 45 degrees. The infobox lists the top floor at 820 feet (250 m), a figure that, with the spire, does not add up to 995. The form has stacked chevron setbacks on the north and south sides.
At completion it was described as the world's tallest reinforced concrete building, and the article calls the style Postmodernist. BentleyForbes bought it with One Prudential Plaza in 2006 for $470 million and defaulted in 2015. It stands at 180 North Stetson Avenue, and the article gives no visitor policies.
