Chicago Place is a mixed-use high-rise on the 700 block of North Michigan Avenue (between Huron and Superior) in Chicago along the Magnificent Mile, completed in 1991. The lower levels originally contained a vertical mall anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue. Above that, is a tower containing condominiums.[3]

By 2009, the mall portion had closed and largely been abandoned, with only the Saks store remaining.[4] The abandoned mall has frequently been the site of "urban exploration" videos posted online.[5][6] The Saks anchor store closed on May 16, 2026.[7]
