Residents of 340 On the Park can use a shared indoor recreation room with a balcony and grill. Six stories of garages are located beneath the lobby, unlike most Chicago high-rises that locate parking above the lobby. The garage includes parking for bicycles, and for a Prius that can be rented by the hour through a car-sharing service.
Sunlight streaming in through south-facing windows is causing some residents who haven't put up blinds to run the air conditioning even in 40-degree autumn weather. This is despite the units having special tinted and insulated glass windows.
