Two Prudential Plaza
Chicago, USA

FLOORS: 64 floors
COMPLETION: 1990

The Prudential Plaza redevelopment project sparked new vitality for the immediate area with renovation of the existing 41-story One Prudential Plaza; construction of a new 64-story, 1.2 million square foot Two Prudential Plaza; design of a one-acre outdoor plaza; and a new five-level, underground parking garage. The two buildings share a common lobby and matching architectural elements at the entrance level. Two Prudential Plaza, the tallest reinforced concrete building in North America, has been honored with eight awards.

7.5/10

It looks good from some angles only..but i feel its still rather chunky. Being next to the Aon Center just doesnt help its spire break into the skyline well.

Another Chicagoan stunner - über-nice & good ;)

Very good, nice spire, just wish that it wasn't blocked out by Aon Center.

8/10

i have nothing against it:D

i love it . . .very Philadelphia-ish . . 7/10:D

Yes, very Liberty Plaza in Philly.

Nice and sheer with plenty of height.

Chicago has so many great towers!

9.5/10

A nice, bright tower-but nice bright towers need space to catch the light, and this one is overshadowed a bit.

8/10

Yeah, It is. I like the height on it. Very awsome appearance. 8/10

RATE OUR TALLS
 

I second that notion.

Anyway, I rated 2 Pru over on WSF before it shut down. And I gave it something like a 8.5/10, so that's what it'll get now.

9/10. I love this building. I was going to make a Philideplhia comment but someone beat me to it.

Wow! I give it a 10/10!

I used to work in this building. It has a nice plaza at it's foot. The interior is so-so.

9/10 Nice Top

I love it! 10/10 :)

I like it. The design makes sense, it is both axial and symetrical, depending upon your perspective. It is one of the few glassy towers to come during this time that actually had some "depth" to its facade. I also appreciate its very prominent status in Chicago's skyline, even though it is nowhere near being the tallest.


8.0/10

One of Chicago's finest modern towers. 8.5/10

A terrific well-pronounced glass punctuation in the Chicago skyline! 8.

My favourite tower in Chicago , so I gave it a 10 !!

It should have been built on another location imo , so it would look much nicer !
