321 North Clark opened in April 1987 and was named "city development of the year" by the Chicago Sun-Times.[6][7] The building was originally named Quaker Tower after its anchor tenant, the Quaker Oats Company. Quaker moved to a new headquarters in 2002.[8] Currently 321 North Clark is owned by Hines Interests Limited Partnership and houses the headquarters of the American Bar Association, among other tenants.[9]
