The Crain Communications Building is a 39-story, 582 foot (177 m) skyscraper located at 150 North Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago, Illinois. Also (previously) known as the Smurfit–Stone Building and the Stone Container Building, it was originally going to be named "One Park Place" before it opened as the Associates Center, named after the initial tenant of the building, the Associates Commercial Corp.
Construction of the building began in 1982 and was completed in 1984. The building, noted for its uncommon slanted top facade, was designed by Sheldon Schlegman of A. Epstein and Sons. It has 39 floors of tenant space and the two spires at the top cover the main roof and serve as mechanical rooms for HVAC equipment.
