Major Renovation Announced For Jewelers Building

Initial renderings have been revealed for a major renovation of the historic Jewelers Building at 35 East Wacker Drive in The Loop. The now 100-year-old structure sits along the Chicago River at the intersection with North Wabash Avenue and is known for its multi-tier design, matching cupolas, and for appearing in various movies over the years.

The 40-story tower reaches 502 feet into the skyline in a Beaux-Arts style, originally featuring an innovative interior vehicle elevator. Since then, it has seen many lives and was most recently purchased in 2024 by developers Prime Group and CRG.
