The Near North Side is the part of Chicago, Illinois just north of the downtown central business distict (the Loop). The Gold Coast is a short strip of some of the city's priciest real estate along Lake Shore Drive. From the standpoint of social status, the streets here are among the finest addresses in Chicago. This is the second-wealthiest urban neighborhood in the United States, after the Upper East Side in New York City. The housing includes vintage apartments, town houses and lavish mansions that remain, relics from a glitzier past. The "Gold Coast Historic District" was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 30, 1978. Included in this district is The James Charnley House designed by Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright. Goose Island is the only natural island located within the boundaries of the city of Chicago. Goose Island is located in the Chicago River. The island is separated from the mainland by the North Branch of the Chicago River on the west and the North Branch Canal on the east.

North of the shopping center can be found the John Hancock Center, the art deco Palmolive Building and the Drake Hotel.
