Legacy Tower is a 72 story skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois currently under construction, located along S. Wabash Avenue, near E. Monroe Street.

The building will contain 360 luxury condominium units, as well as provide 460 parking spaces.[1] Additionally the build will integrate 41,000 sq ft. (3,809 square meter) of classroom space for the Illinois Institute of Art in the lower floors. The site where the building is erected will preserve the historic facade of the Chicago Landmark Jewelers Row District on Wabash Ave.

The building's narrow design was intended to provide vantage points of the lake and park for all units owners.

This temporary structure was erected to preserve the old building facades along Wabash Avenue while the new construction proceeds behind
