Overview
One Museum Park is the tallest building in the Central Station development, the tallest building on the south side of Chicago and the tallest in Chicago south of Van Buren Street.[2] It is also the tallest all-residential building in Chicago, and the second-tallest all-residential building in the United States upon its completion, surpassed only by Trump World Tower in New York City.
Museum Park is a complex of multiple residential towers within the Central Station development at the southern edge of Grant Park, across Lake Shore Drive from Chicago's Museum Campus. Construction of One Museum Park was followed by the 54-story One Museum Park West, directly to the west at the corner of Roosevelt Road and Indiana Avenue.
One Museum Park, which has a Prairie Avenue address, while being located on the corner of Columbus Drive and Roosevelt Road, is also known as One Museum Park East (OMPE) to differentiate it from the yet to be completed One Museum Park West. In 2006, the Prairie District Neighborhood Alliance, a non-profit organization was formed to provide representation for thousands of South Loop residents, including the Prairie District, Central Station and Museum Park, Motor Row, the South Michigan Ave Corridor, as well as other areas of the Near South Side.
Education
The building is zoned to schools in the Chicago Public Schools.
