Designed by SPACE Architects + Planners, the new construction will include a five-story building holding 32 residential units. Of the 32 units, three residences will meet ARO affordability requirements. 16 parking spaces will be accessible from the alley, as will bike parking and storage.

The developer is requesting a zoning change from the current RM-5 district to a B2-3 district, with a designation as a transit-served location (TSL). This zoning change will allow for the scope of the building, while the TSL designation allows for the parking reduction.

Longford Construction will also be the general contractor for the $10,000,000 construction. The development will require aldermanic approval due to the zoning change, followed by a zoning approval from the city and Chicago City Council. An official timeline for the project has not been announced.

Eh, not the best, and the building does not interact well with the street at ground level.
This replaces a handsome and solidly built red brick church. It is unfortunate that the developer is not utilizing the old construction for an adaptive reuse. It would be far more in line with the neighborhood than this suburban medical center looking build. Also from the floor plans it appears most of the one-bedroom units don’t have windows in the bedrooms.
I like it! Build it, please.
Not happy live across the street this will block my sunlight
