The architectural firm who designed the building was Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the same firm who designed Chicago's Willis Tower and John Hancock Center and the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. The building was designed with a "sawtooth edge," and incorporates six corners onto the southeast face of the building. Thus, the building has nine corner offices on most of its floors. Originally named "Madison Plaza," the building was proposed to have a twin tower located on the lot situated south of the tower. However, plans for a second tower were ultimately abandoned. Six years later, in 1988, the Miglin-Beitler Skyneedle was proposed for construction on the same lot, adjacent to 200 West Madison. Plans called for 125-story tower that was to rise 2,000 ft (610 m).http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=miglinbeitlerskyneedle-chicago-il-usa https://web.archive.org/web/20061115022026/http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=miglinbeitlerskyneedle-chicago-il-usa usurped November 15, 2006 Miglin-Beitler Skyneedle 2007-12-23 Emporis.com However, that plan was also eventually cancelled.
