The Chicago World Trade Center was a proposed 2500 feet (760 m) supertall skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois. It would have had 210 floors and it was also to look like the actual World Trade Center that was destroyed on September 11, 2001, when Flight 11 and Flight 175 crashed into both buildings. The building was designed in 1982 by Harry Weese. However, the design was never built.

A shorter, 181 floor, 2300 foot building by the same name was proposed that same year, but like the other proposal, it was also cancelled.
