One Museum Park Promises Unobstructed Condominium Views Forever
CHICAGO—Few developers can offer luxury condominium buyers unobstructed views forever, but that is the promise at One Museum Park, an elegant 62-story high-rise now nearing completion overlooking Grant Park at Roosevelt Road and Columbus Drive in the South Loop’s Central Station neighborhood.
“One Museum Park has a window seat on the world of Chicago,” said developer Ron Shipka, Sr., a principal of The Enterprise Companies. “The miraculous views of Grant Park, Lake Michigan, Burnham Harbor, Navy Pier, the Museum Campus, Soldier Field and the Chicago skyline from this ideal setting are guaranteed to never be obstructed.”
These vistas are further enhanced by continuous, curved floor-to-ceiling windows in main living areas of virtually all residences, Shipka said.
“One Museum Park is an architectural icon along Lake Shore Drive that is helping shape the evolving city skyline,” said Ron Shipka, Jr., a principal of The Enterprise Companies.
Of the 298 residences at One Museum Park, nearly 90 percent are sold, 120 units have been closed and only 35 units are available, according to Ralph Oliva of Coldwell Banker Residential, the exclusive sales and marketing agent.
Prices for the available 2-bedroom-plus-den, 2-bath units with 1,485 to 1,550 square feet of space range from $825,500 to $955,500.
Three-bedroom, 3-bath condominiums with 1,840 to 2,210 square feet range from $1,110,500 to $1,540,500. Three-bedroom, 3-bath penthouse residences with 2,375 to 2,910 square feet range from $1,910,500 to $2,650,500.
One of the most elegant floor plans is Residence 01, a 3-bedroom, 3-bath floor plan with a family room and 2,920 square feet of living area.
Residence 01 boasts east, west and north views overlooking Grant Park from the sprawling 23-by-33-foot living room/dining room, and the master bedroom. The family room and secondary bedrooms showcase an east view of the lake.
In addition to spectacular views, One Museum Park also offers all homeowners a lifestyle of comfort, ease and privacy. Workout lovers will enjoy swimming in the indoor or outdoor pool, and utilizing the professionally equipped fitness center, which includes separate men’s and women’s locker rooms with private saunas.
For entertaining the Owner’s Club boasts gracious gathering spaces with panoramic lake, park and city views and an adjacent catering kitchen.
Such hotel quality services as a full-service concierge desk, a 24-hour doorman, landscaped outdoor sundeck and secured indoor parking provides owners with the privacy and security expected of a luxury residential building.
Each residence at One Museum Park will feature extraordinary amenities including 9-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, oversized living/dining rooms, private master suites with luxurious baths and spacious closets, hardwood floors and private balconies (per plan). Kitchens feature granite countertops, 42-inch Woodmode cabinets, and stainless-steel appliances.
Master baths boast luxurious soaking tub, separate glass enclosed shower with marble tile, designer marble floor tile and tub surround, marble double vanities, Woodmode cabinetry, Grohe faucets and Kohler fixtures.
With the assistance of Museum Park’s on-site interior designers, every buyer has the opportunity to personalize their home with a wide variety of finishes of the highest quality.
“Those who love cooking can design their own professional gourmet kitchen. Or, if you like to entertain, you can install a built-in media center. Whatever style you envision, our designers are there to help you create a living space that truly reflects your personal ideal,” Shipka said.
“Living at One Museum Park means living in the most beautiful part of Chicago within walking distance to world-class institutions of Museum Campus or the stunning flower gardens of Grant Park,” he said.
Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to a 20-mile stretch of Chicago’s famed lakefront, which is perfect for jogging, biking or walking. Tennis courts and softball fields are three blocks away, and boat lovers are a short stroll from Monroe and Burnham Harbors.
Residents are also close to great blues and jazz clubs and upscale restaurants. The list of fine restaurants includes: Opera, 1301 S. Wabash, along with such established eateries as Chicago Firehouse, 1401 S. Michigan, Gioco, 1312 S. Wabash, and Hackney’s Printers’ Row, 733 S. Dearborn, Room 12 at 30 E. Roosevelt, South City Tavern at 1530 S. State, Blackie's, 755 S. Clark, as well as Starbucks and Grace O’Malley’s on South Michigan Avenue.
Other South Loop night spots include Buddy Guys Legends, 754 S. Wabash, Hothouse, 31 E. Balbo, Kasey’s Tavern, 701 S. Dearborn and Tantrum, 1023 S. State.
One Museum Park is also minutes from transportation. Major Chicago expressways in close proximity include the Dan Ryan, Kennedy, Stevenson, Eisenhower and Lake Shore Drive. The development also provides easy access to CTA train and bus lines.
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 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.
The Museum Park sales center is located just south of Roosevelt Road at 1259 South Indiana Ave. Exit Lake Shore Drive at Roosevelt Road, go west to Indiana Avenue and turn left (south).
The sales center is open from noon to 5 p.m. daily, or by appointment. For more information on One Museum Park, call the sales center at 312-362-0200, or visit the website: www.onemuseumpark.com.
