Park Tower Condominiums

Park Tower Condominiums is a residential skyscraper located along Lake Michigan in Chicago, standing 156 meters tall with 55 floors of living spaces. The concrete structure was designed to serve as a residential community with various unit types and amenities for its inhabitants.

The building was designed by the architectural firm Solomon Cordwell Buenz and opened to residents in 1974. It became part of Chicago's urban development, contributing to residential expansion beyond the downtown core.

The building represents the evolution of residential architecture in Chicago, adding to the city's collection of substantial structures outside the downtown area.

The building includes a fitness area, indoor swimming pool, and hot tub available to residents, along with an underground parking garage containing about 300 spaces. Retail shops and additional services are located directly in the complex or nearby.

The structure features six residential elevators dedicated exclusively to serving the apartment units, optimized for the building's high floor-to-unit ratio. This elevator configuration enables efficient movement for residents and visitors throughout the tower.
