The history of Marina City is intertwined with three influential Chicago figures. Their contributions transformed the skyline and set a precedent for urban development.

As the story of Marina City’s creation unfolds, the role of Brighton Construction Company remains a mystery.

Four accomplished musicians. Two network news anchors. Ronald Reagan’s press secretary. The first female disc jockey at WLS. And a Lollapalooza chef. At one time or another, they each called Marina City “home.”

No other residential building in the United States has a more interesting history than Chicago’s Marina City.
