Overview

Museum Park is a complex of multiple residential towers within the Central Station development at the southern edge of Grant Park, across Lake Shore Drive from Chicago's Museum Campus. Construction of The Grant followed the 62-story One Museum Park, directly to the east. In 2006, the Prairie District Neighborhood Alliance, a non-profit organization was formed to provide representation for thousands of South Loop residents, including the Prairie District, Central Station and Museum Park, Motor Row, the South Michigan Ave Corridor, as well as other areas of the Near South Side.

In July 2012, the building was acquired by New York–based Related Companies along with the former 1600 Museum Park and Museum Park Place 2 and later renamed The Grant, Adler Place and Harbor View.{{cite web|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/2013/02/12/downtown-condo-market-showing-signs-of-life/|title=Downtown condo market showing signs of life|access-date=October 30, 2014|date=February 12, 2013|work=Chicago Tribune|author=Podmolik, Mary Ellen}} Nearly all of the 238 unsold units in the building{{cite web|url=http://www.chicagobusiness.com/realestate/20130212/CRED0701/130219927/related-reboots-failed-south-loop-condo-projects|title=Related reboots failed South Loop condo projects|access-date=October 30, 2014|date=February 13, 2013|work=Crain's Chicago Business|author=Matthews, David Lee}} were sold by May 2015.{{cite web|url=http://www.chicagobusiness.com/realestate/20150512/CRED0701/150519959/three-years-after-south-loop-deal-504-condos-almost-gone|title=Three years after South Loop deal, 504 condos almost gone|access-date=June 14, 2017|date=May 12, 2015|work=Crain's Chicago Business|author=Rodkin, Dennis}}
