The Chase Tower is a 22-story, 288-foot-tall (88 m) high-rise building in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Built in the International style, the building has a very dark green, almost black, facade. It is located alongside the Milwaukee River.
Presently, the building is home to a Chase Bank branch and underground vault, the studios of Milwaukee Public Radio (WUWM), a few eateries, and numerous offices. Skywalks connect it to its parking structure to the south and the Shops of Grand Avenue across the river via the ASQ Center.[3]
History
The building was completed in 1961, and was formerly known as Bank One Plaza until their merger with Chase. Before that, it was home to Marine Bank. In 2006, the building was sold to Brookfield Asset Management Inc. of Toronto. At the time of the sale, the Chase Tower had an assessed value of $34 million.[4]
Currently it is the 11th tallest building in Milwaukee, and was the second tallest building in Milwaukee from 1961 to 1973, when U.S. Bank Center was completed.[5]
