The Chicago City Council has approved the mixed-use development 2033 N Kingsbury Avenue in Lincoln Park. Located on the eastern edge of Lincoln Yards right off of N Clybourn Avenue, the project will replace a vacant lot bound by curved railroad tracks to the south. Like other developments in the area, the project is being led by Sterling Bay.

Having received its approval from the Committee on Design late last year, the Pappageorge Haymes-designed tower has seen various design changes over the course of the process. Originally proposed as a 16-story linear structure, the approved design will rise 25 stories and roughly 275 feet tall and occupy a smaller footprint.

Clad in brick along the base, the tower itself will be mostly glass with a black metal panel accent grid and corner balconies to break up the massing. With this zoning approval in hand, the tower can now proceed with construction as soon as it secures financing. Once they break ground the developer expects a 24-month timeline.
