Construction checkup: ParkView's park
Posted 8/19/2008 by Mark Boyer
When I posted last month about the park that MCL Companies is currently constructing in the lot directly to the west of ParkView Condominiums, the 47-story tower at 505 N McClurg Ct in Streeterville, reader Dragonslayer rightly pointed out that trees have been planted, and the park appears to be nearing completion.
I took a walk over to the River East this morning to check up on how the park is progressing and to have a look at ParkView, which was looking pretty gloomy in our most recent photos from last winter. From the color of the glass and yellow balconies to the blending of curved and straight lines, this building certainly manages to effectively differentiate itself from the other Streeterville high-rises.

The ParkView park and fountains are completed… The construction fence will be removed in the near-term. Fun and unique features include lighting between the granite steps and the fiber-optic lighting that will stream through the fountain's water-jets.
