How many underground floors has the Lake Point Tower? -- 83.135.92.220 11:03, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 03:23, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Lake Point Tower (Chicago) → Lake Point Tower — This page was recently moved from Lake Point Tower to Lake Point Tower (Chicago) because a new stub article, Lake Point Tower (Dubai), was created. However, this building is much more notable and much more well known than the one in Dubai (see a Google search), so this should be located at "Lake Point Tower", with a dab link to the Dubai building; I have already been WP:BOLD and redirected "Lake Point Tower" to here from a dab page. — Rai- me 05:40, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia's naming conventions.Sounds interesting, but needs clarification. What did other buildings use at the time? Whale oil for lighting the hallways? Mule trains for the elevators? I mean, come on, this is the 1960's! -- BjKa ( talk) 09:12, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
The interesting thing is that it's "all-electric". Most buildings, then and now, use a mix of electric and gas/oil/coal energy for heating, cooling, cooking, and water heating. LPT has *only* electric power in its apartments. Sepreece ( talk) 18:29, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
In the "other features" section, mention should probably be made of the 70th-floor Cité restaurant located atop the building. SecretName101 ( talk) 16:01, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

The article "A Singular Statement," Chicago Tribune, September 23, 2018, Section 4, pp. 1 & 8 by Blair Kamin gives a lot of details that should be added, e.g., that the building "helped inspire the design of the ... Burj Khalifa," 'it helped pioneer a new kind of downtown living [for Chicago],} that it and two planned associated buildings were the reason the ordinance banning construction east of the LSD was passed, and that at one time it was the tallest reinforced concrete building. Kamin also states/claims that "It's often said -- wrongly, it turns out -- that Schipporeit and Heinrich based their Lake point Tower design on Mies' visionary but unbuilt 1921 [building]... in Berlin." Actually, the LPT was originally designed with four rather than three wings. Kdammers ( talk) 17:54, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
