The owner Brad Gold has planned retail on the ground floor, with seven total units. One of the units will be a ground-floor studio, while the residences above will all be two-bedrooms. Parking will include two outdoor spaces, one of which will be accessible, located at grade level behind the building. The studio will measure at 505 square feet, while the two-bedrooms will all hover between 1,020 and 1,035 square feet.

Jay Keller of SPACE Architects + Planners is the project’s architect of record. The design includes a limestone base with brickwork and limestone accents above. The right-hand column of windows are also recessed, allowing for deck space along the front exterior. The rear of the building will also house deck space for the other units.

  1. This design is beyond sad, and it keeps popping up all over Chicago and ruining the city.

    • Couldn’t agree more. One all this infill is finished they will have completed the worlds ugliest, flattest lego block street wall.

  2. On the bright side at least it isn’t in duplex form like most are. They look like parking garages with the huge double sided recessed balconies framed in.

  3. I actually love single lot development, keeps the character of the neighborhood feeling quaint. Would’ve been better in a different color brick though.

    It’s got Chicago windows and a freaking cornice! It’s actually pretty nice, just looks weird by it’s almost the exact height of the neighbor.
