The 32-storey "Richard J. Daley Center" office tower is 197.5 meters high. Completed in 1965 after three years of construction, it was the tallest building in Chicago for four years. However, it was dethroned in 1969 by the John Hancock Center, which at 344 meters (including the antenna even 457 meters, 100 floors) is significantly higher than the Richard J. Daley Center.
The building was named after longtime Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley (1902–1976).

Daley Plaza, located adjacent to the Richard J. Daley Center, hosts a variety of seasonal festivals and events including City Market, Chicago's longest running Farmer's Market, in the summer and Christkindlmarket, a outdoor German market, in the winter. Standing 50 feet tall and weighing over 160 tons, the Chicago Picasso in Daley Plaza is much more than just artwork to Chicagoans. The untitled Picasso sculpture that originally sparked controversy in the city has now become one of Chicago’s most famous sculptures and beloved icons.
