The restrooms are spacious and clean and saw many seating or rest areas to relax and enjoy as you walked the mall and many charging stations available. It's not clear exactly what renovations or construction was taking place but scaffolding took over the entire mall making it harder to navigate and ruined the esthetics and vibe of what the mall has to offer in my opinion!

This place is supposedly a high end mall, and I am 100% see the vision. There are 10 floors I believe, but it's only 2-4 stores per floor. They forget to put stores on certain floors in the directory as well. The highlight of the mall in my opinion was the American Girl place. It's large, and really informative and fun. I walked around a bit and they have a decent spread of stores. Fashion. Accessories. Toys. They even have an art gallery. I didn't talk to anyone, really. I shopped at Aeropostale, one of my favorite brands, looked around and that concluded my trip. It's a nice place for people touring, but don't make way for it while planning your trip. Think of it as a plan B. If I lived in Chicago, I wouldn't see this mall as a regular place to shop.

Richard J. Daley proclaimed it as "the greatest real estate deal in history." The Illinois Center development is a prominent mixed-use complex situated between Michigan Avenue and the Chicago River. It encompasses a significant portion of the skyline and includes office buildings, residential towers, hotels (Hyatt Regency), and retail spaces such as Just Salad, Burrito Beach, Potbelly, FedEx, a credit union and a dentist office. There is also access to the Pedway for underground travel during inclement weather. The concierge at 111 is helpful but sometimes busy. There is a nice selection of foods. The parking rates are a reasonable price. The view of the Chicago River and Trump Tower are a nice distraction. It's extremely difficult to get work done with the captivating panorama.

It's connected to the Hyatt Regency, which can be useful if you're staying in the hotel and park beneath the building. But in general, it's not really worth a visit.

There's about three floors that are similar to a mall with multiple shopping areas and a food court. There is one sit down restaurant that has a huge bar and views over the river. If you're staying at the Holiday Inn downtown or the Voco downtown, there's a convenient walkway over the street so you don't even need to go outside. The food court has a huge variety of quick service restaurants: salads, barbecue, sushi, Chinese, sandwiches, and fried chicken. Multiple restaurants allow you to order food ahead and pick it up so you don't have to wait in long lines. Most of the building is office space so if you're here around 8 or 9 AM, lunchtime, or 4 to 6 PM, it's crazy busy. There are a couple entrances that have those rotating doors. My first morning here I was entering from the street level through one of those and a lady behind me came and pushed the door really fast. It was all I could do to step out the door without having to go around again. She then rushed by me and almost ran up the escalator. She must have been late for work compared to me, a wandering tourist. If you're in the area, check this place out.

(No I'm not going to give you a history lesson! Lol) As of late, the building was acquired by Shorenstein Properties in 2012 and officially renamed River North Point in 2013.

All the other floors are filled with various office spaces that are leased by different companies.

The Apparel Center offers a convenient go-to for Chicago-area boutiques and wholesalers to meet without the hassle of business travel, and has quite literally changed the way I purchase clothing for my shop. Rather than schlep hither and yon for wholesale shows in Dallas or Attanta or New York, I can head downtown, put in some orders, and head back to work in the space of an hour. Efficient in layout and clustered on one floor, the showrooms range from spotlessly minimal ro chaotically cluttered, but that's part of the charm. The showrooms at the Apparel Center are staffed by helpful and honest people, and I can often see them within a day or two's notice. The Apparel Center also works in tandem with the Merchandise Mart for Stylemax, the quarterly wholesale show, so I can also see clothing representatives on a regular basis and have local go-to people for emergency orders and the like. I am immensely grateful that this resource exists for people like me and would love to see it grow into an even more vibrant locale for Chicago's burgeoning fashion scene. Until then, I wil continue to thank my lucky stars I can easily do this type of pivotal buying right downtown!
