One North Wacker - Chicago IL - a photo on Flickriver

            Thanks Ken for the ID.
One North Wacker, formerly UBS Tower is a 50-story, 199 m (653 ft) skyscraper at One North Wacker Drive in Chicago, Illinois. Construction began in 1999 and was completed in the spring of 2002 with the designs of Lohan Associates (now Goettsch Partners)
The tower's most eye-catching feature is its main lobby. The lobby's glass wall was a first in the United States. The 40-foot (12 m) wall was made out of 5'x5' glass panes attached to a system of medallions and cable. This cable system was tested at pressures above 150 psf, or a wind speed of nearly 250 mph. The glass itself is also noteworthy- an optical interference anti-reflective glass (designed by Schott AG) with an unusually low surface reflectivity of 1% is used. This imbues the lobby with an almost transparent appearance.
