The Legacy at Millennium Park

Yesterday, we told you about one buyer’s reason for choosing The Legacy at Millennium Park for his downtown condo. Today, let’s have a look at the vintage facades that are being preserved and incorporated into the 14-story base of The Legacy. The three buildings, which were not designated historic landmarks, front Wabash Avenue just north of its intersection with Monroe Street. There has been some controversy recently about the idea of applying the skin of an old building to the body of a new one — how do yo’all think these facades will look when paired with a super-sleek, super-skinny, 73-story glass tower? The team of Mesa Development and architects Solomon Cordwell Buenz previously incorporated the streetscape’s older architecture into its successful Heritage at Millennium Park high-rise. Prices on The Legacy’s 355 units range from the $400s to $8.6 million.Site of Legacy at Millenium Park
