Vista Tower (formerly known as 375 E. Wacker) is a supertall skyscraper being built in Chicago, Illinois. The Chicago Plan Commission approved the building on November 19, 2015, in a meeting that also approved the One Grant Park development.
Construction started in August 2016 with expected completion in 2020. Upon completion, it will become the city's third-tallest building at 1,191 feet (363 meters). Designed by architect Jeanne Gang, Vista will supplant her nearby Aqua as the tallest structure in the world designed by a woman. The building is a joint project of Magellan Development Group and Wanda Group. The original estimated cost of construction was $900M.
