In October, Chicago YIMBY reported that the Zoning Board of Appeals had approved three variances that allowed plans for the roughly 37,000-square-foot structure to proceed. The proposal has also been approved by the Plan Commission. Currently, the property is occupied by a vacant lot, which prior to 2017 was occupied by a single-story masonry building.

beats a surface lot….
Sad that these sort of comments are the highest praise one can extend to the vast majority of projects. Another gross underutilization of prime land. Watching these lots fall one by one with 4 and 5 story buildings of every mediocre variety is so disheartening. Seeing high-rises of yesteryear towering in the background of all these modern developments is pathetic. What a terrible era for density and scale. Of course the same for design holds true saying as well.
I can’t believe that this is even the same city that allowed mid & high-rise buildings to stretch for six-miles along the lakefront. We need that spirit back desperately and someone who can fuel a zoning revolution. Even a 12 story building on this lot would be impossible today. The suburbanites have planted their flag and gained full control of this once innovative city.
