Everything East Wacker

35 East Wacker—a.k.a. The Jewelers Building—is Chicago through and through. Once the tallest building west of New York City, it continues to impress with its “wedding cake” design and dome roof. A multi-million dollar renovation was completed on the 40-story landmark. With its modernized infrastructure and meticulously restored lobby and elevator cabs, 35 East Wacker preserves the design of the past while delivering contemporary functionality.
