1600 Museum Park is topped off
Posted 9/30/2008 by Mark Boyer
While passing by Soldier Field and the Museum Campus on Lake Shore Drive this morning, I noticed that 1600 Museum Park appeared to be topped off, so I took this photo from the road. The top couple of floors and the empty cube on top still lack windows, but it looks like all 32 floors are in place.
Construction has moved pretty quickly at 1600 Museum Park. Joel first reported about foundation work at 1621 S Prairie Ave in the South Loop about a year ago, and Patrick wrote that the parking structure was completed in February, so it looks like this high-rise will have taken take less than two years to build.
Last we checked, the remaining one- to three-bedroom condos at 1600 Museum Park were priced from the $290s to the $700s.

Looks like the developer dropped the two-tone glass shown in the rendering, which would have made it quite slick IMO. Now it just looks like a bunch of ugly glass windows and balconies. I hope they're still gonna paint the concrete….

The result of a PD that combines several buildings being approved 'en mass'. A lot of things could have been done about this building, including the horrible streetscape…more parking garage streetscape, yippee!
