河点大厦是一座52层楼高，108万平方英尺的办公大楼，位于芝加哥西环的湖街和芝加哥河边。该设计具有引人注目的凸面形式，提供了城市的全景。一个优雅的抛物线拱门框住了倾斜的红色石灰华大堂墙，并为过往行人反射出河流的景象。大楼引人注目的三层大厅通向一个广阔的1.5英亩的河边公共广场和新创建的河道，这是芝加哥独特的河边的最新补充。

The building’s dramatic three-story lobby opens onto an expansive 1.5 acre riverside public plaza and newly created Riverwalk, the latest addition to Chicago’s unique riverfront.

该公园占地1.5英亩，可供公众使用，提供了芝加哥市中心最大的河岸绿地。560英尺的新河道取代了一段摇摇欲坠、无法进入的河岸，补充并连接了城市最近完成的河道的新部分。这个公共公园取代了场地上未充分利用的火车轨道，建在一个新的美国铁路站上，为城市重新获得了绿色空间，并为行人创造了一系列绿意盎然的公共空间。
At 1.5 acres, the publicly-accessible park provides the largest riverfront green space in downtown Chicago. The 560 feet of new Riverwalk replaces a crumbling, inaccessible stretch of river bank that complements and connects to new sections of Riverwalk recently completed by the city. Replacing underutilized train tracks on the site, the public park is built over a new Amtrak station regaining green space for the city and creating a verdant series of linked public spaces for pedestrians.

Elevating this vital intersection of public greenway and street life is the Constellation, a sculpture designed by architect Santiago Calatrava. Reflecting River Point’s mirrored architectural arch, the sculpture’s graceful circular red form creates a stunning focal point for the plaza and a new iconic destination for the City of Chicago. The park and Riverwalk feature extensive seating, native landscaping, and a variety of trees creating an urban oasis for the office tenants as well as the many new residents of the booming West Loop neighbourhood.
