Salesforce Tower Chicago | Pelli Clarke & Partners

Salesforce Tower Chicago is a modern landmark that anchors Wolf Point, an extraordinary mixed-use development at the confluence of the Chicago River’s three branches. Pulsing with city life and commerce, the tower sits adjacent to the historic Merchandise Mart and steps away from cultural destinations and the Chicago Riverwalk — a scenic waterfront path with lush greenery, public art displays, cafes, and gathering spaces. The tower will be home to Salesforce’s regional headquarters and offer premium office space with unparalleled river views and state-of-the-art wellness amenities in a vibrant public park setting.

An iconic addition to Chicago’s renowned skyline 
Salesforce Tower Chicago has a classic stepped form that gracefully merges with the sky. With a north-south orientation, its rectangular massing and curtain walls form an elegant silhouette that evokes connection with Wolf Point East. A series of gently tapering setbacks give the tower a striking sculptural profile. The curtain walls combine glass and metal to balance a feeling of solidity and transparency. The tower meets the ground with a light and airy touch, offering a welcoming gateway to the surrounding park and newly expanded Riverwalk. Underground, a four-level parking garage is hidden from view.
