Characterized by floor-to-ceiling glass windows, a crisp tapering armature and an innovative roof-top articulation, 1600 Museum Park will soon be one of the most architecturally significant buildings on Chicago's lakefront.
"Museum Park continues to receive a very positive reaction from homeowners and 1600 Museum Park is no exception," says Ron Shipka Jr., a principal of the Enterprise Companies. "These homes are designed to the most exacting expectations from the architecture and craftsmanship of the building to the quality finishes and unique layouts of the homes themselves."

Additionally, a den is included in most floor plans ready for homeowners to convert into a study, home gym, library, office or even an art studio. Further customization is made possible through the on-site Design Center Showroom. With the assistance of 1600 Museum Park's professional interior designers, every buyer has the opportunity to customize their home with a wide array of finishes, features and optional extras. The Design Center Showroom offers endless opportunities for luxury, turning each homeowner's design into a reality.

For entertaining, the penthouse Clubroom boasts a gracious gathering space and adjacent full-service kitchen. Additional amenities include a stately lobby, 24-hour doorman and secured indoor parking.
Living at 1600 Museum Park provides residents with an endless array of opportunities for recreation, entertainment and cultural enhancement. Steps away are the world-class institutions of the Museum Campus, Grant Park and Chicago's magnificent lakefront. Outdoor aficionados can also walk to tennis courts, jogging/riding paths, the beach and enjoy outdoor concerts at Millennium Park.
"Museum Park is truly an outstanding example of a development that has brought all the right elements together to create one of the most desirable locations in Chicago," says Shipka.
Museum Park is part of Central Station, developed by a partnership consisting of The Fogelson Companies and Forest City Enterprises. In 1994, Central Station started to take its residential shape with the initial construction of luxury townhomes. Since then, this lakefront neighborhood has boomed with construction of more luxury townhomes, high-rise condominiums, apartments, and retail stores. All this has made Central Station the city's premier lakefront neighborhood.
The Museum Park sales center is located just south of Roosevelt Road at 1259 South Indiana Ave. Exit Lake Shore Drive at Roosevelt Road, opposite the Field Museum. Go west to Indiana Avenue and turn left. The sales center is open daily noon to 5 p.m. or by appointment. For more information or to make an appointment, please call (312) 362-0200 or visit the web site at www.1600museumpark.com.

Many of their developments, including the 1,500-unit Museum Park at Central Station, featuring new-construction lofts, high-rise condominiums and townhomes, have received awards for their design, ingenuity and architectural innovation. By approaching their business with a sense of responsibility toward creating the best possible living environments and neighborhoods, The Enterprise Companies continues to successfully accomplish their mission of making Chicago a better place to live.
