200 West Madison
The building was designed with a "sawtooth edge," and incorporates six corners onto the southeast face of the building. Thus, the building has nine corner offices on most of its floors. Originally named "Madison Plaza," the building was proposed to have a twin tower located on the lot situated south of the tower. However, plans for a second tower were ultimately abandoned. Six years later, in 1988, the Miglin-Beitler Skyneedle was proposed for construction on the same lot, adjacent to 200 West Madison. Plans called for 125-story tower that was to rise 2,000 ft (610 m). However, that plan was also eventually cancelled. The lot is now the site of a parking garage.
200 West Madison is the location of "Dawn Shadows," a famous black metal sculpture created by Louise Berliawsky Nevelson. The sculpture was brought to the plaza in 1983.
