The tower's steel and glass curtain design was influenced by the ideas of Mies can der Rohe. It has held several records such as tallest all-residential building, highest residences above ground level, tallest reinforced concrete building, and shortest building with 70-plus floors. The property has its own 2.5-acre park and every unit has a view of Lake Michigan. --Lake Point Tower. (n.d.).
