The only Chicago high-rise designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, One Bennett Park sets the precedent for luxury living with its carefully curated collection of heirloom residences. Now, discriminating buyers have the chance to own one of the building’s crown jewels: the three-bedroom, 3 ½-bathroom, 3,600-square-foot-plus model residence, a fully furnished corner home with southeast-facing paramount views of Lake Michigan, the Chicago River and the city’s skyline from its many oversize windows.
An Angele chandelier by Stephen Antonson and a French Louis Philippe burl walnut armoire circa 1840 stand out in the master bedroom.
The price is a cool $4.9 million, and the finishings certainly communicate multimillion-dollar tastes: The foyer features a Phillip Jeffries custom handpainted burlap wallcovering and a vintage 1950s brass and glass flush-mount ceiling fixture, while the powder room is accented with Gucci Heron print wallpaper in tourmaline rose and a vintage 1950s Austrian “snowball” crystal chandelier by Emil Stejnar for Rupert Nikoll. For a dining experience like no other, a Gabriel Scott Welles chandelier hovers above the custom vellum hide dining table and reupholstered dining chairs alongside a French rosewood art deco bar cabinet. Lounge at the custom velvet channeled sofa in the living room, complemented by custom framed canvas paintings by William McLure, Paul Caponigro, Roger Manley and more.
The residences boasts world-class finishes curated by the award-winning Bruce Fox Design
“This is a rare turnkey opportunity to own a custom-designed, move-in-ready, new-construction home in one of Chicago’s most architecturally significant buildings, with world-class amenities and five-star, hospitality-level management and services. There’s nothing else like it on the market,” says Tim Salm, senior vice president of sales at Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty, which holds the listing.
There’s a new discovery in every room of the fully furnished residence at One Bennett Park.
The living space’s interior design was the brainchild of Chicago’s Bruce Fox, complete with RAMSA custom-designed cabinetry and millwork; quartersawn white oak hardwood floors; Sub-Zero, Wolf and Asko appliances; Lutron shades; and award-winning furnishings and intricately curated design details.

“As an art and architecture lover, I was immediately drawn to this building, and as a designer, I found inspiration in RAMSA’s perfectly executed details— from the herringbone tile in the lobby, reminiscent of David Adler, to the art deco-inspired design,” says Fox, the award-winning Chicago-based interior designer who combined collectibles, authentic artwork, bespoke antiques and collectibles alongside art deco-inspired, midcentury decor to complement stunning views of the city. 514 N.
