With the recent opening of One Museum Park, buyers are racing in to take advantage of this incredible opportunity to own at the fastest selling property in Chicago. Developed by The Enterprise Companies, One Museum Park will be located where Lake Shore Drive meets Museum Campus.
Rising 53 stories above Grant Park and Lake Michigan, One Museum Park will include 298 luxurious condominium residences offering unobstructed views of Grant Park, Navy Pier and Museum Campus. This magnificent building evokes an international style yet remains deeply rooted in Chicago's signature modernist tradition. Construction is slated to begin late 2006 with first occupancies expected by late 2008.
"One Museum Park will be a major focal point along Lake Shore Drive so it was very important we create a unique, appealing building that will help shape the evolving city skyline," notes Ron Shipka Jr., a principal of the Enterprise Companies. "Coinciding with its landmark-quality design will be the picturesque views of the lake and skyline that residents will enjoy for a lifetime."
Buyers can select from a wide range of home sizes and floorplans. One-bedroom, one-bath plans are priced from the $340s and range between 786 to 1,044 square feet. Priced from the $440s, two-bedroom, two-bath units provide up to 1,238 square feet of living space, and two-bedroom plus den plans range between 1,639 and 1,700 with pricing starting in the $600s. Three-bedroom, two-bath homes offer 1,746 square feet and are priced from the low $900s.
Those seeking additional space will appreciate the penthouse units offering 3,000 square feet of living space. Priced from $1.45 million, these luxurious residences feature three bedrooms, three baths and an expansive living/dinging room as well as a generously proportioned family room. One Museum Park features impressive residences and lavish amenities, which will unquestionably please any homebuyer. All homes are unprecedented in every way, endowed with such stunning features as oversized living/dining rooms, gourmet kitchens, sumptuous master bathrooms, spacious balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows.
With the assistance of One Museum's professional interior designers, every buyer has the opportunity to personalize their home. Whether a buyer is seeking advice on how to adapt their space to fit their lifestyle or they are interested in special materials, these dedicated professionals will direct and inspire every homebuyer.
"The possibilities of these homes are never ending," notes Shipka. "For those who love cooking, plan on creating a gourmet kitchen. Or if entertaining is high on someone's list, a built-in media center can be added. And of course, opting for a soothing, spa-style bath is a great way to banish stress."
At One Museum Park, all homeowners will enjoy a life of comfort, ease and privacy. Workout aficionados will enjoy swimming in the indoor pool or utilizing the professionally equipped fitness center, which includes separate men's and women's locker rooms and a sauna. For entertaining, the Owner's Club boasts gracious gathering spaces with an adjacent full-service kitchen, and a 24-hour doorman and secured indoor parking provides owners with the privacy and security expected of a first-rate building.
Adding to the luxury and versatility of One Museum Park is the full service concierge desk, available exclusively to residents. From planning one's next vacation or a night on the town to finding just the right personal shopper, the on-site concierge is at one's service around the clock – dedicated to making residents' lives easier and more productive.
Living at One Museum Park means living in the most beautiful part of Chicago. Walking outside their door, residents have access to the best that Chicago has to offer. Steps away lay the world-class institutions of Museum Campus or the stunning flower gardens at Grant Park. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to a 20-mile stretch of the famed lakefront path, which is perfect for jogging, biking or walking. Tennis courts and ball fields are three blocks away, and water lovers are only a short stroll to Monroe and Burnham Harbors.
"Part of what has made Museum Park so special is its aptitude to blend the romantic characteristics of the lakefront with a contemporary, active lifestyle," says Shipka. "The brick-paved streets and lush green parks combined with the glass-and-stone towers have brought a new elegance to lakefront living in Chicago."
Museum Park is part of Central Station, developed by a partnership consisting of The Fogelson Companies and Forest City Enterprises. In 1994, Central Station started to take its residential shape with the initial construction of luxury townhomes. Since then, this lakefront neighborhood has boomed with construction of more luxury townhomes, high-rise condominiums, apartments, and retail stores. All this has made Central Station the city's premier lakefront neighborhood.
The Museum Park sales center is located just south of Roosevelt Road at 1259 South Indiana Ave. Exit Lake Shore Drive at Roosevelt Road, opposite the Field Museum. Go west to Indiana Avenue and turn left. The sales center is open daily noon to 5 p.m. or by appointment.
