Downtown Chicago from the northwest Chicago has the tallest building in the United States, the Sears Tower, and many slightly shorter buildings, almost all in the Loop or along the Magnificent Mile. The Sears Tower also has the most floors of any building in the world, and if one includes its 278-foot (85 m) tall western antenna, remains the world's tallest skyscraper. In addition, Chicago has the distinction of being the only city in the world with more than one building containing at least 100 floors (New York City had 3 such buildings from 1973-2001). The John Hancock Center, with 48 floors of condominiums from the 45th floor to the 92nd floor in between business and restaurant spaces, holds the world record for the highest residential floor.
