Salesforce celebrated the grand opening of its 57-story, 1.2 million-square-foot Chicago tower on Dec. 5, 2023, a bold new addition to the city’s skyline rising up amid a slumping office market.
Located along the Chicago River at the Wolf Point site near the Merchandise Mart, Salesforce Tower features a shimmering glass facade with 16,000 individual panes and is one of the few major office buildings to be developed in the city during the pandemic.
