340 on the Park

340 on the Park is a residential tower with 62 floors that rises 205 meters above Chicago's waterfront. The structure contains 344 units, parking spaces, and ground-level retail spaces arranged across multiple levels.

Completed in 2007 by Solomon Cordwell Buenz, this tower marked a turning point in Chicago's residential architecture. It represented a new approach to high-rise living in the city at that time.

The building sits next to Millennium Park and Grant Park, making it easy for people to walk into these major public spaces. Residents can access Chicago's cultural venues and outdoor areas without needing to travel far.

The tower connects to Millennium Park and Grant Park through the Pedway system, making access easy in bad weather. From this location, visitors can easily walk to the surrounding waterfront and parks.

This tower earned the first Silver LEED certification among Midwest residential high-rises for its sustainable building systems. An interior winter garden provides a green retreat space for residents during cold months.
