Building Description

The Esplanade Apartments are two of the four buildings designed by Mies van der Rohe and built by Herbert Greenwald on Lake Shore Drive between Chestnut and Walton Streets. They were the first high-rise buildings designed by Mies to fully implement a continuous exterior curtain wall. This technique was used by Mies in all his future high-rise projects and has become the standard in modern high-rise construction.

Although these towers are the same height, they are not identical; instead, they are complementary. And after more than 50 years, they still exude the essence of modern architecture.
