Marina City is a mixed-use complex along the main branch of the Chicago River in downtown Chicago. It is home to approximately 1,400 residents and 13 businesses.

Its distinctive design features two cylindrical 588-foot towers, each comprised of 18 parking levels, 40 floors of condominium units, a floor for laundry and storage, an observation deck, and a three-story mechanical penthouse. The towers rise from a two-story, 300,000 square foot commercial platform.

The complex also includes a 16-story Hotel Chicago with retail spaces, a 55,000 square foot House of Blues, and a Smith & Wollensky restaurant.

Built in the 1960s and now an official City of Chicago landmark, Marina City was for a time the tallest residential building in the world and the tallest building made of reinforced concrete.

Although the residential floors are not open to the public, much of the complex is accessible and visitors are welcome. Marina City has bars, restaurants ranging from casual to fancy dining, a 354-room hotel, upscale bowling alley, upscale table tennis facility, a House of Blues, grocery store, and public parking. On the marina level, you can rent a small electric boat and continue your exploration of the Chicago River.

Address: The residences are all located at 300 North State Street in zip code 60654. The addresses of businesses at Marina City range from 300 to 350 North State Street and 315 to 339 North Dearborn Street.
