Regents Park is an upscale apartment complex in the Kenwood community area of Chicago, IL on the Hyde Park community area border. Bordering Harold Washington Park, its two parallel towers are just west of Lake Shore Drive, Burnham Park and Lake Michigan with clear park and lake views to the east and south. The 37 floor Regents Park South Tower was completed in 1972 and the 36 floor Regents Park North Tower was completed in 1974.[1] The South Tower is the tallest building in Kenwood,[2] and overlooks Lake Michigan and Burnham Park to the east and Harold Washington Park to the south.[2]

The complex is located on the site of the former Chicago Beach Hotel, a 12-story resort built in 1921 which had been used since World War II as the 5th Army Headquarters.[1][2] The South Tower is located on the site of the former hotel and the North Tower is built on the site of the north lawn of the Hotel.[3] The original main entrance was on the east side of the building.[1] The towers thus retain Lake Shore Drive addresses (5020 & 5050 South Lake Shore Dr.) although the main entrance is now on the west side of the building. The towers were renovated in approximately 1990.[1] A significant proportion of the residents attend the University of Chicago, especially the graduate business school.[1]

The building has been the recipient of numerous apartment industry awards including the Mayor’s Landscape Award, and the 2006 National Association of Homebuilders Multi-family Development Firm of the Year Award.[4]
