The building's address is 300 E. Randolph and is located next to the Aon Center. Original plans had hoped to connect the two buildings via an underground pedway, but the plans never came to fruition.
Architect James Goettsch of Goettsch Partners designed the building. The 33-story first phase was completed in 1997 under the firm name of Lohan Associates (now Goettsch Partners). The 24-story second phase started in 2007 and was completed in 2010.
Expansion
In 2006 the City of Chicago granted a building permit to Health Care Service Corporation Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois to build up instead of out. The second phase expansion took place over 2007-2010. The "new" tower is 57 stories and is the first project in Chicago to build up.
