"The gateway to Fulton Market — with a rooftop pool to prove it."
Ratings Breakdown
Upper Level's exclusive rating for Chicago winter survivability — indoor parking, pedway access, CTA proximity, and wind exposure.
The Rundown
Parq Fulton opened in 2022 at the corner of Randolph and Ogden — the western gateway to Fulton Market, where the neighborhood transitions from its restaurant-and-office core to a more residential character. Developed by Marquette Companies (the same developer behind The Mason), Parq Fulton is the bigger, newer, more amenity-forward sibling.
At 26 floors and 278 units, the building offers studios through three-bedrooms with Nest thermostats, door keyless entry, stainless steel appliances, and soft-close cabinetry throughout. The amenity package is genuinely strong: a rooftop pool with private cabanas, Technogym-equipped fitness center, meditation room, co-working spaces with conference rooms, resident lounge, and an expansive dog park.
The corner location at Randolph and Ogden means you're at the edge of Fulton Market — close enough to walk to Restaurant Row and the Morgan CTA, far enough to avoid the worst of the weekend crowds. The building has more than 10,000 sq ft of ground-floor restaurant and retail space, creating a built-in neighborhood feel.
Who Lives Here
A mix of young professionals, couples, and remote workers who want Fulton Market access without being directly on top of the restaurant corridor. People who use the meditation room and the Technogym equipment seriously. Dog owners who appreciate the expansive dog park. Residents who entertain — the rooftop cabanas and co-working conference rooms get used.
The Neighborhood
1400 W Randolph is the western edge of Fulton Market — technically the gateway from the West Side into the district. You're a 10-minute walk from the Morgan CTA and the restaurant core, close to Union Park and Mary Bartelme Park, and in a pocket that feels more neighborhood than scene. The Ashland Green/Pink Line stop is the nearest CTA.

Upper Level Intel
Same Developer as The Mason — Different Scale
Parq Fulton and The Mason are both Marquette Companies developments, but they're very different buildings. The Mason is 14 floors, industrial-modern, and boutique. Parq Fulton is 26 floors, more amenity-forward, and positioned as the flagship. If you're comparing the two, Parq Fulton wins on amenities and newness; The Mason wins on character and quieter location.
The Good & The Not-So-Good
Wins
- ✓Rooftop pool with private cabanas
- ✓Technogym fitness center — above average equipment quality
- ✓Meditation room (rare amenity)
- ✓Expansive dog park
- ✓2022 construction — relatively new
- ✓Marquette Management (same developer/operator as The Mason)
- ✓10,000+ sq ft of ground-floor restaurant and retail
Watch Out
- ✗Western edge of Fulton Market — 10-minute walk to the restaurant core
- ✗Ashland CTA stop is less convenient than Morgan
- ✗Randolph and Ogden corner can get busy on weekends
- ✗Pricing reflects the newness and amenity package
The Verdict
Parq Fulton is a strong choice for renters who want a newer building with a serious amenity package at the western edge of Fulton Market. The rooftop pool with private cabanas, Technogym fitness center, and meditation room are genuine differentiators. The location is slightly less central than The Dylan or The Row, but the tradeoff is a quieter street and a more neighborhood feel. Best for people who want Fulton Market access and a building that feels like a destination in itself.
