"Robert A.M. Stern's limestone tower — the most architecturally serious building in Streeterville."
Ratings Breakdown
Upper Level's exclusive rating for Chicago winter survivability — indoor parking, pedway access, CTA proximity, and wind exposure.
The Rundown
One Bennett Park is the most architecturally distinguished residential tower built in Chicago in the past decade. Designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects — the firm behind some of New York's most celebrated limestone towers — it brings a classical sensibility to Streeterville that stands in sharp contrast to the glass-and-steel towers around it.
The building has 70 floors with 279 rental residences and approximately 60 condominiums. The rental portion is managed by Related Midwest, one of the most respected residential developers in the country. The condo portion is separately managed but shares the amenity package.
The amenities are exceptional: a private 2-acre park accessible only to residents, two pools (indoor and outdoor), a 7,000 sq ft fitness center, pet spa, screening room, and 24/7 doorman. The building is new, impeccably maintained, and managed with the kind of professionalism you'd expect from Related Midwest. Views from the upper floors are spectacular — lake, river, and city panoramas.
The price reflects the quality. This is one of the most expensive rental buildings in Chicago, and the condo prices are among the highest in Streeterville. But for buyers and renters who want the best, One Bennett Park delivers.
Who Lives Here
Affluent professionals, empty nesters downsizing from suburban homes, and some international buyers. The condo floors attract buyers who want the best Streeterville has to offer. The rental floors draw high-income professionals who want luxury without the commitment of ownership.
The Neighborhood
Streeterville's eastern edge, steps from the lakefront and a short walk to the Mag Mile. The private 2-acre park is a genuine differentiator — it's a rare amenity in a dense urban neighborhood. Navy Pier is nearby.

The Park Is the Differentiator
The private 2-acre park is genuinely rare in Chicago. In a city where outdoor space is at a premium, having a private park that only residents can access is a meaningful quality-of-life upgrade. It's not just a marketing amenity — residents actually use it.
Rental vs. Condo Floors
The rental and condo portions share amenities but have separate management. The rental floors are managed by Related Midwest; the condo HOA is separate. Make sure you understand which portion you're in and what's included.
Upper Floor Views Are Worth It
The view differential between lower and upper floors is significant. If you're paying One Bennett Park prices, push for a higher floor — the lake and city panoramas from the 50th floor and above are among the best in Chicago.
