360 Chicago Unveils Redevelopment and Expansion Plans
360 Chicago has announced an ambitious redevelopment project for the top floors of the iconic former John Hancock Center, located at 875 N. Michigan Avenue. The multi-million-dollar initiative includes expanding 360 Chicago into the 95th floor and creating a 14,000-square-foot event space on the 96th floor.
The 95th and 96th floors have remained vacant since the closure of the Signature Room restaurant. Now, 360 Chicago, in partnership with renowned architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and WB, plans to transform the space into a dynamic addition to the city’s premier attractions.
The parent company of 360 Chicago, Magnicity, purchased the two upper floors in June 2024. Following a comprehensive renovation, the new spaces are slated to open to the public in 2027.
“This expansion across three floors represents a significant commitment to Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, as well as a strategic investment in the visitor experience and the long-term value of 875 N. Michigan Avenue,” said Nichole Benolken, Managing Director of 360 Chicago.
The redevelopment marks a major milestone in the continued revitalization of one of Chicago’s most recognized landmarks.
