From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the similarly-named skyscraper in New York City, please see Citigroup Center.
The Citigroup Center is a skyscraper at 500 West Madison (between Clinton and Canal) in Chicago, Illinois. The 42 story, 588-foot (180-meter) tall glass and steel late modernist style structure was designed by the architecture firm of Murphy/Jahn and was constructed during the years 1984 through 1987. The Citigroup Center (sometimes referred to as the Northwestern Atrium Center) was constructed on the air rights obtained by the destruction of the headhouse of the 1911 North Western Station. The Citigroup Center contains retail shopping and offices and rests on the platforms of the Ogilvie Transportation Center (which unofficially continues to be called Northwestern Station) and thousands of Metra commuters use the facility every day.
