Palmolive Building

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Palmolive Building is a 37 story Art Deco building in Chicago. Built by Holabird & Root, it was completed in 1929 and was home to Colgate-Palmolive-Peet. A beacon was added in 1930 and operated until 1981. The building was home to Playboy Magazine from 1965 to 1989. It became a national landmark in 2000.

Today, the building is being converted for residential use by developer Draper and Kramer. The first two floors house upscale office and retail space. High-end condos make up the rest of the building. Perhaps its most famous resident is Vince Vaughn.
