Located in the 60606 is one of my favorite buildings in the loop. Right off the Washington/Wells stop, near a Starbucks, Goodwin’s, Cosi and even a small convince store in the lobby, stands the One North Franklin. It is located near everything to keep you running during the rush of an average day at the firm.

This building has some of the fastest elevators that I have every ridden. When going from the top floors down to the lobby, I can feel my ears pop.

Height (struct.) 151 m / 494 ft
Floors 36
Office Space 617,000 s.f.
Parking ratio  1:21000
Construction End 1992

Watch out when trying to haul equipment out of the building because the tall security guard that works the morning shift always demands to see a equipment pass. One time I was hauling out a small computer tower that was no bigger than a book, and I had to go get a pass. This particular client was out of passes so a series of confirming phone calls ensued, wasting 10-15 minutes of my time.

Despite the sometimes annoying security happenings, it remains in my top five buildings to work in. LPChad tested and approved.
