Sky-High Luxury & Lakefront Celebrations: One Bennett Park's
2M Penthouse Lists, and Chicago's Beloved Fireboat Turns 90

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Streeterville ·

Streeterville is serving up a double dose of exciting news this week — one story reaching for the clouds, and another making a splash on the waterfront.

First, the neighborhood's crown jewel residential tower is back in the spotlight. One Bennett Park, the stunning Robert A.M. Stern-designed high-rise that defines Streeterville's lakefront skyline, has just listed a fully finished penthouse for

2.25 million. Developer Related Midwest's Curt Bailey took a fresh approach after the raw penthouse space sat unsold for six years — commissioning a complete, move-in-ready finish that showcases the tower at its most spectacular. For a building already celebrated for its architectural pedigree and sweeping Lake Michigan views, this listing is a milestone moment that puts Streeterville's luxury residential market firmly on the national map.

Meanwhile, just steps away at Navy Pier, there's a waterfront celebration underway worth raising a glass to. Chicago Fireboat Tours is marking the 90th anniversary of the historic Fred A. Busse — a veteran-owned experience offering architectural tours, fireworks cruises, and themed experiences all season long. Built in 1936, the beloved fireboat offers a one-of-a-kind way to explore Chicago's glittering waterways and connect with the city's rich maritime history right from Streeterville's doorstep.

From penthouse heights to lake-level adventures, Streeterville is delivering the full range this spring. Have you been out on the fireboat, or are you dreaming of that One Bennett Park view? Tell us in the Socialhood comments!
