The St. Regis Chicago, formerly Wanda Vista Tower, is a 101-story, 1,198 ft (365 m) supertall skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois.

Construction started in August 2016 and was completed in 2020 with the remaining portion expected to finish by the third quarter of 2021. Upon completion, St. Regis became the city's third-tallest building at 1,198 ft (365 m), passing the Aon Center. It is the tallest structure in the world designed by a woman. It was designed by architect, Jeanne Gang. Vista Tower complements the design of the nearby Aqua skyscraper.

Vista Tower cost nearly $1 billion to construct.

The tower is made up of three connecting towers with differing heights. The tower topped out in April 2019. It formed part of the Lakeshore East development.
