340 on the Park is a
New Eastside/ East Loop Chicago completed in 2007. The building was the tallest all-residential building in Chicago until the completion of One Museum Park
.
The architectural firm
Amsysco Inc.[3]
340 on the Park is set flush next to
Randolph Street, allowing unobstructed views of Millennium Park, Grant Park, The Park at Lakeshore East and Lake Michigan
. The tower's design also allows for nearby buildings to maintain some views of the park.
340 on the Park was the first residential tower in the
LEED certification for its "green" design,[4] including a large winter garden for residents. Additional benefits include a connection to the Chicago Pedway
system, low-flow water fixtures for both residential and public spaces, and energy-efficient fixtures such as lights and mechanical equipment.
The north side of the building is contoured so that views from
The Buckingham
next to the building are not interfered with.
Education
Residents of 340 on the Park are zoned to schools in the Chicago Public Schools.
