Related Midwest Celebrates Construction Milestone

Upon completion, Bennett Park will be the tallest all-residential skyscraper in the city.

CHICAGO—Related Midwest last week celebrated the topping off of One Bennett Park, the developer’s luxury residential tower at 451 E. Grand Ave. in Chicago’s Streeterville neighborhood. The celebration, co-hosted with Lendlease, the project’s general contractor, included a lunch and raffle for more than 350 tradespeople who worked on the building. Rising 836 feet, One Bennett Park is the tallest tower topped off in downtown Chicago since 2009 and, upon completion, will be the tallest all-residential skyscraper in the city.

The building will open in a multifamily market that has reached a plateau. Demand for downtown residences remains strong, however, especially for those in buildings with distinctive features.
