ONE MUSEUM PARK EAST
Completed in 2008, OMPE is the tallest, solely residential building in Chicago, this award-winning 1,000,000 SF, 65-story crown jewel in Museum Park Campus provides the anchor of the southern architectural face of Grant Park in Chicago. Consisting of 289 condominiums with 467 parking spaces, the design, construction and turnover of this luxury high-rise was directed and managed by Mr. Groesbeck on behalf of GP1 LLC.
History
Uniquely positioned on the prominent southeast corner of Grant Park in downtown Chicago, the building evokes an international style but remains rooted in Chicago’s signature modernist tradition. The sleek façade, comprised of blue-and-gray low-emissivity glass with mica-fleck-infused silver painted metals, echoes the stunning setting of open sky and reflective waters. The graceful, amorphous massing allows every unit to capture primary views of both the Lakefront and Grant Park. A series of stepped, curved terraces rise up the flanks of the structure, slowly receding to reveal the building’s soaring core, which culminates with an illuminated silver elliptical peak that seamlessly conceals mechanical components.
