Go Inside Chicago's Third-Tallest Building -- and Its Penthouse

The penthouse at the top of Chicago's St. Regis Tower, the city's third-tallest building, is the tallest residential unit in the city and costs a cool $19 million. See inside the penthouse, and hear from architect Jeanne Gang about the striking design of her skyscraper.

Glad to see this building and Jeanne Gang getting the credit they so richly deserve. I am from the age of Chicago tall buildings having been a concrete laborer on the Hancock Center and later an intern at SOM working for Fazlur Kahn on Sears. Had good friends working on the Standard Oil building over at Perkins and Will. Heady days - Glad to see Jeanne doing well at what she loves.

I’ve always wanted to check the interior of this masterpiece ever since this project was completed. Thx for this video! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Ms. Gang comes across as very authentic and likeable. Cheers to all involved here.

I don't love the blow-through section until this video is just thought the building was unfinished the rest of the building is absolutely beautiful!

Stunning building, and it's actually the second tallest if you count just building height and not the height of a spire or antenna.

I love what she does in the City! I still love Aqua the best!

Don't judge me...one of favorite buildings in Chicago is the Inland Steele Building. I know it is a cookie-cutter/ run- of-the-mil mid-century-mod building, but there is something about its quiet, understated elegance to me. It is at the corner of Monroe and Deaborn.

This building is beautiful at day, but at night it’s sooo underwhelming. They should add lights on the blow through floor to add to the skyscraper/skyline

I'd love to see art deco come back. 1920s had the most beautiful buildings.

I'm so moving there. Do they take Section 8 ?

Please come to Sacramento...we need help...

19 million seems very steep for that very dull interior penthouse. Only the view is appealing.

And one day i'm going to be living there 😊

Actually they discovered AFTER they were building it that the wind loads would cause excessive movement and instead of using a tuned mass damper to solve the problem they went cheap and left a glaring and arguably ugly blow thru floor that forever scars the chicago skyline and is a testament to building permits approved without any kind of technical review.

Beautiful building. I usually hate the boring glass boxes and it really doesn't take much to make them interesting.

In the winter the penthouse will be above the clouds for at least 4 - 5 months . It's best to not live over 20 levels.

I don't always look at chiago downtown city, always as I drive close to the place. ❤

[paulbuerton]

Nah. Big call the Michigan bit. Human eye can't see that far.

How many politicians were paid off to build this building?

[MrWphilips]

This is obscenely decadent housing for the elites-only!
Towering over the street level homeless and economic disadvantaged!
I would be far more impressed for something beautiful that has granted dignity and access to the less privileged!
Why can’t the middle classes be provided for, as well as the poor!
The rich can easily provide for themselves!
