     Notable for both its design and its stature, when this building is completed, it will be the tallest on the lake shore. Similar in massing to the new Sheraton on the Chicago river, One Museum Park is significantly taller. A corner shaft is flanked by a number of complementary straight and curving vertical elements in slightly different designs, giving this building the appearance of a city-within-a-city. This is appropriate, considering this is to be the cornerstone of a larger development that could bring as many as 15,000 new residents to the area.

This building is beautiful. It reminds me of the Emerald City in the Wizard of Oz.

Good scale. It's doesn't steal the show, but it definitely has it's own attractive style. I'd live here.

All I can say when looking at this structure is simply amazing. I was just downtown over the weekend and have had the pleasure of seeing this building as well as many other buildings discussed on this website being built. If you have not had the chance to visit Chicago recently, then you are in for a real treat. You won't believe all the new development in the entire downtown Chicago area, especially in the south loop area which should have been nicknamed "Slum City" years ago. I think that this building (1 Museam Park) will fit in nicely with the area and begin to bring in more residents to the seemingly vacant south loop area. It is begining to seem as if the south loop will turn into an area looking much like NYC's Manhattan's Upper east side by this area being taken over by mostly towering residential buildings. I just hope that the city doesn't forget that more people coming into the area that has sat vacant for about 50 years means more cars needing better WIDER roads, students meaning more schools, shoppers meaning more stores will be needed, and the city BETTER wake up and allow more Taxi medalians to be sold as there already are not enough cabs for everyone and bringing in more people will only make the situation worse, but to developers and the City of Chicago's administration I say, "good job". With the proper planning, this building as well as all the others going up around it will make the south loop area a nice place to visit and live. Nicely done!
