About 1700 East 56th Street
1700 East 56th Street, also known as 1700 Building, is a 38-story luxury apartment building overlooking Lake Michigan and adjacent to Jackson Park and the Museum of Science and Industry in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago in Cook County, Illinois, United States. Designed by Loewenberg Architects, its construction was completed in 1968, followed by a condominium conversion in 1994. With 369 residences, this was the largest Hyde Park condominium conversion in a decade, when a recession and soaring interest rates halted Chicago's condo conversion frenzy. In a city that hosts 6 of the 40 tallest buildings in the world and 10 of the top 100, with more under construction, this is the tallest Chicago building on the South Side. More precisely, it is the tallest building south of 13th Street.
