The Grant is part of a group of residential buildings called Museum Park. These buildings are located near Grant Park and Chicago's Museum Campus.

Construction on The Grant began in March 2007. It was finished and opened in July 2010. This building was built after the 62-story One Museum Park, which is right next to it.

In 2006, a group called the Prairie District Neighborhood Alliance was formed. This group helps people who live in the South Loop area of Chicago, including those in Museum Park.

In July 2012, a company from New York called Related Companies bought The Grant. They also bought two other buildings nearby. After this, nearly all of the 238 apartments that were still for sale in The Grant were sold by May 2015.

Schools for Residents

Children living in The Grant building go to schools that are part of the Chicago Public Schools system.
