Demolition permits have been issued for a three-story masonry building at 16 W Erie Street, located in Near North Side. The multi-unit residential structure is currently owned by KKDD LLC, who has not yet revealed plans for its replacement.
The site is zoned as DX-5, which would allow for a very high density mixed-use development. DX-5 has no set height limit, apart from a height review and a maximum floor area ratio of 5, which means any new building’s square footage can be five times that of the lot itself. Given this figure and the smaller footprint of the lot, any replacing structure likely will not exceed five floors unless an amendment is passed.
