The Chicago Plan Commission approved plans for the building in late 2015, and a groundbreaking ceremony took place on September 6, 2016. The Wanda Vista topped out in April 2019, and Wanda sold its ownership stake to Magellan the next year. The tower was renamed the St. Regis Chicago in November 2020 after St. Regis Hotels & Resorts agreed to operate the hotel.
