Why is the Water Tower Place important?

Do not confuse "Water Tower Place" with the "Chicago Water Tower." Water Tower Place is a high-rise shopping center that was finished in 1975 next to the original Chicago Water Tower. Water Tower Place is credited with bringing more middle class shopping to the former upscale North Michigan Avenue district and beginning the move of Chicago's main downtown shopping district from State Street to North Michigan Avenue. The Chicago Water Tower is famous for having survived the Chicago fire. Other than being located next to Water Tower Place, the two have nothing in common.
