1700 East 56th Street, Residential skyscraper in Hyde Park, Chicago, United States.

1700 East 56th Street is a residential tower in Hyde Park with 40 floors housing about 369 units in various sizes. The building offers views of Lake Michigan and Jackson Park from many of its residences.

The tower was built in 1968 by Loewenberg Architects as a residential complex. In 1994, it was converted to condominiums during an economic downturn, reshaping its ownership structure and management.

Each residence here is named after a notable Chicago architect such as Adler, Burnham, Sullivan, Mies van der Rohe, and Wright. These names connect residents to the city's architectural heritage and create a living tribute to its design traditions.

The building features a fitness center, laundry facilities, party room, and 24-hour door service for residents. A heated underground garage provides secure parking for vehicles.

This is the tallest building south of 13th Street in Chicago, containing homes ranging from compact studios to spacious corner units. This range of sizes accommodates different lifestyles and living preferences.
