900 North Michigan in Chicago is a Skyscraper completed in 1989 . At 871 feet (265 m) tall, it is the seventh tallest building in Chicago and the 22nd tallest in the United States. The building features a large upscale retail center commonly referred to as 900 North Michigan Shops. Bloomingdales anchors five of the six floors, with other various luxury shops and restaurants filling the rest. The luxurious Four Seasons Hotel can also be found within this massive tower. 900 North Michigan also contains office space, beginning at the 8th floor. Recently, parts of the office space have been converted into high-end condominiums in order to profit from the growing residential market. The exterior of the tower is clad in Limestone and green glass which reflects the light. The building has a steel skeleton on which a concrete frame was made. Because the building's materials switched half way up, cranes had to stop working while new ones were constructed for the concrete. SEE ALSO
