ANSWER: The former John Hancock Center, now known as 875 N. Michigan Ave.

Home to 360 Chicago and the 94th floor Observation Deck, the former John Hancock Center is the thirteenth tallest building in the country. The building was renamed to its address 875 N. Michigan Avenue in 2018, although the legendary name is still well-known to locals. Its observatory is award-winning for fantastic 360-degree views of the city and lake.
