116 S. Michigan
This turn-of-the-century skyscraper, designed by prominent Chicago architects Jenny, Mundie and Jensen, has panoramic views of Grant Park and Lake Michigan. Originally the Municipal Court Building, this seventeen story building has approximately 100,000 square feet of rentable space.
Extensive rehabilitation brought the building back to its original grandeur, with complete restoration of the ornately decorated marble lobby and two wrought iron staircases. In addition, three new high speed passenger elevators, a new freight elevator, new bathrooms for each floor, thermo pane windows, a new energy efficient HVAC system, and upgraded electrical and plumbing systems were installed.
The restoration and renovation of the interior and exterior was completed in 1986.
