While the buildings in Museum Park continue to sell out at record speed, interested buyers have yet another chance to live in Chicago's most successful lakefront neighborhood with the grand opening of 1400 Museum Park. This newest Museum Park address offers an exceptional experience of comfort with the convenience of urban living, making 1400 Museum Park an enchanting place to call home.
Located at the corner of 14th Street and Michigan Avenue, the 32-story building will feature 260 condominium residences with delivery dates scheduled for early 2008. Characterized by sweeping colonnades of floor-to-ceiling windows combined with a lofted rooftop articulation, 1400 Museum Park is destined to be a twenty-first century masterpiece.
"As architects, we have great sensitivity to the way Museum Park, and generally this neighborhood, have been built up. 1400 combines energetic architectural forms with post-modern materials to create a design which raises Chicago's world-class architectural standing," says Brian Kidd, architect for Pappageorge/Haymes, Ltd.
Priced from the $250s, buyers can choose one-bedroom plus den units ranging in size from 837 to 917 square feet. Two bedrooms plus den offer up to 1,372 square feet and are priced from the $360s, and the corner three-bedrooms plus den homes start in the $550s and are approximately 1,670 square feet.
Buyers moving to Museum Park can expect homes with the highest level of quality, first-rate amenities and incomparable value, and 1400 is no exception. The dining and living spaces merge together, allowing carefree entertaining for two or ten. Windows stretch from floor to ceiling to bring in plenty of natural light across the home. The kitchen boasts granite countertops and raised panel wood cabinets. Other standard features include hardwood floors, separate office area or den and a spacious private balcony adorned with glass railings.
Another exceptional amenity for buyers of 1400 Museum Park is The Design Center Showroom which makes it easy for buyers to create a home that is truly their own. An experienced staff designer will consult with each buyer to choose from an array of options, creating an additional personal dimension to these homes.
"Buyers really appreciate being able to actually see the different samples and finish selections and talk to a professional to get expert advice on how to adapt their space to fit their lifestyle. Participating in various design decisions just makes the ownership process that much more gratifying," says Ron Shipka, Jr., principal of The Enterprise Companies.
The homes at Museum Park have been specifically designed to provide the luxurious lifestyle one demands, without ever having to leave the building. Upon entering the professionally decorated lobby, residents will be greeted by a doorman, on staff 24 hours a day. A private fitness center containing the very latest equipment as well as a hospitality suite featuring a gourmet chef's kitchen is available for all homeowners and their guests on the 32nd floor of the building. To top it off, a roof top sundeck provides exquisite views of Museum Campus, Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline.
Shipka adds however, that it isn't just the homes that continue to draw buyers to Museum Park; it's also the great sense of community that homeowners long for. "When people ask what's so special about our neighborhood, we point out that no other residential community in Chicago provides the combination of living in a charming neighborhood by the lakefront that is practically in the park, yet conveniently close to the central business district and all the city's great restaurants and entertainment opportunities."
