River City Chicago - A city within a city

The downtown Chicago River segment begins with River City, a unique, 17-story concrete residential building and marina. Bertrand Goldberg, the same designer behind the Marina City complex, designed this structure. The no-wake zone begins here and continues throughout the rest of the South Branch and Main Stem of the Chicago River.

This development in Chicago's South Loop neighborhood was originally intended to be a series of four towers 85-stories tall. The current River City building is designed to allow the rest of its tower to be built on top. It is one of the most distinctive residential buildings in the city's south side. The buildings that make up this complex are S-shaped, and each of the apartment units is wedge-shaped, fanning out from the center either towards the windows or inward to the atrium. Additionally, the building has its own private marina.

River City hugs the bank, and its residents enjoy the benefit of a peaceful refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city since, at River City, cosmopolitanism melds with nature.
