Talk:Marina City

message: I edited this page to include some information on the current state of marina, and add what I think is a more attractive picture - I hope everyone agrees.
:Sometime after it was converted to condos, I heard that the parking garage was in need of repair, and the owner was bankrupt, leaving the apartment owners above without a solid foundation (I don't know if the garage was owned by the condo association, or an outside company). Obviously they didn't let it fall over, does anyone know how they resolved it? -Rbean 18:40, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

message: The towers have 60 inhabitable floors and there's a so called "5-story elevator & physical plant penthouse" - I object to the word penthouse, while possibly technically accurate it is misleading. I'd replace it with the world "area" unless someone has a better suggestion. Obviously the elevator core is part of the height of the building but I don't see how it possibly counts as 5 stories unless there is some technical rule about this. It doesn't seem 5 stories tall. The elevator doesn't go up any further than "61 roof deck" but the roof usually doesn't count as a story of the building. Erickaakcire (talk) 19:56, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Since the building has been switched from rental apartments to condominiums, would it be a good idea to replace the word apartment with the word unit in describing the floor plan? Using the word apartment seems confusing. --JeremiahJohnson (talk) 18:29, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Where does the name "Marina City" come from? Obviously there is a marina now, under the towers, but my question is: has one already been there before the towers were built? At what point in the design process did the marina become a part of the plans for the building complex? At what point was the name "Marina City" stuck on the project, and what was the name of the building/area/plot before? --BjKa (talk) 10:07, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

message: The TEN HOMES episode of the TEN THAT CHANGED AMERICA series (Dan Protess 2016) features Marina City as an important building in the history of US architecture. Please add information to the article about how things turned out, half a century later. Is the building still in good condition? Do people like living there? Does the building have many more years left, or is it getting to the end? How has the price/value of the living units varied over the life of the building?-71.174.185.30 (talk) 13:30, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

message: Would anybody object if I remove this entire section? I was going to update or remove some parts about things that happened over ten years ago, but then I realized that very little of it is still relevant, due to the proliferation of tall buildings around it. There are at least eight buildings taller than it within three blocks. I would guess that a third of the section is no longer true at all. But there are no citations, so it's hard to say whether any of the rest of it is true. And is it really necessary to state that you can see far from a tall building? -Freekee (talk) 04:15, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
