360 Chicago Selects Architecture Firm SOM for Redevelopment Project
Magnicity, the parent company of 360 CHICAGO, has selected Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) to lead the architectural redesign and redevelopment of the skyscraper’s 95th and 96th floors of the 875 N. Michigan Ave., formerly the John Hancock Center.
In June, Magnicity announced its acquisition of the 95th and 96th floors, securing a 30,000-square-foot space that had been vacant since September 2023. “The addition of these two floors to our Chicago portfolio has tripled our space on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, and we’re excited for the Skidmore, Owings & Merrill team to help us envision an exceptional destination that will elevate the profile of 875 N. Michigan Avenue and the Mag Mile as a whole,” said Nichole Benolken, Managing Director, 360 CHICAGO.
“The John Hancock Center was a revolutionary project—the world’s first tall, mixed-use tower that forever changed how we approach urban architecture,” said SOM Partner, Scott Duncan.
