Partial construction permits have now been issued for a mixed-use development located at 4600 N Kenmore in Uptown. The project will involve the renovation of an existing two-story bank, as well as a new five-story building directly east. Developer Cedar St. Companies received approval this past February to develop the existing masonry building into a theater space. Meanwhile, the new construction will yield 2,500 square feet of ground-level retail, and 62 apartments on the upper floors.

Gregory Gibson is the architect of record, while Level Architecture is behind the design. The theater portion will retain its existing masonry exterior, while the five-floor addition will incorporate a dark metal accents and lighter reflective panels. These polygonal-shaped panels will be angled slightly, allowing for a more dynamic-appearing facade. The fifth floor setback will be wrapped in a darker metal with a flat texture.
