About mar i na c ity: Marina City is an iconic residential complex in Chicago, IL designed by architect Bertrand Goldberg. He was an innovative architect, with strong interests in individual solutions, betterment and the good of the community, and social spaces. The complex was designed in 1959 and completed in 1964. The complex consists of two corncob-shaped towers, The House of Blues, Sax Hotel, a bowling alley, a bank, a few restaurants, and a Marina. The towers are 65 stories which come to 587 feet tall, and at the time they were built, they were the tallest residential buildings in the world.
The complex was built to be a city within a city, and originally housed a theater, swimming pool, ice skating rink, gym, bowling alley, restaurants, and stores as well as the marina. As you can tell, these amenities have changed and updated as the years have passed. Originally, Goldberg designed the buildings to solve the problem of people moving out of the city into the suburbs. Chicago was becoming desolate. So he created this ‘city within a city’ that included everything you really would need, including your office in the 16-story office building. It really was all about convenience, housing a “teleview teller” near the tunnel to the office building, which was the 1960s version of an ATM, allowing the user to see the teller at Marina City Bank on closed-circuit television.
