Permits Issued for 963 W Montana Street in Lincoln Park

Construction permits have been issued for a four-story residential building at 963 W Montana Street in Lincoln Park. Filed under 961 W Montana LLC, the development will house eight units with two residences on each floor. Parking will include just two on-site spaces and storage for eight bikes. An approved ordinance in September 2019 reclassified the property from an RM-5 Multi-Unit designation to a B2-3 Mixed-Use district designation, which allows for either retail or apartments at ground level.
