300 South Riverside is a 23-story Class A office tower containing approximately 1.1 million square feet of workspace. The building stands in part over train platforms at Union Station, and boasts a curving green glass wall that mimics the river and allows unimpeded river views from any floor. The curved profile repeats on the west side, where a plaza runs the length of the building. Double-cored floorplates are a key selling point, allowing a tenant to lease half of a floor and have the feel of full-floor occupancy. The building is LEED Gold Certified by the U.S. Green Building Council and has been enrolled in the City’s Retrofit Chicago Energy Challenge since 2013. In 2019, it achieved a 20% reduction in energy consumption. In addition, rooftop beehives sustain local flora and aid in honeybee research. In 2017, TVS Design and Landowska Design Studio reconfigured and modernized the building lobby and other indoor and outdoor amenity.
