How to get there?
318 West Adams sits in the Financial District end of the Loop, one of the densest parts of downtown Chicago, with Willis Tower directly across the street and the Chicago Board of Trade a few blocks south. Restaurants, coffee shops and hotels fill the surrounding blocks, and there is a 7-Eleven and a sushi bar in the building's own frontage. Wacker Drive and the Chicago River are a block west, with the river walk beyond. Both CTA rail and Metra commuter services are within a few blocks, which is why members tend to describe the commute as the location's strongest feature, and the West Loop restaurant scene along Randolph Street is a short walk over the river.
