Construction permits have been issued for a four-story mixed-use building at Wicker Park‘s 2111 W Caton Street, where the developer Lux Living 4U LLC has planned eight residential units above ground-floor retail. The structure will also come with a rooftop deck, a rooftop stair enclosure, and an incorporated eight-car garage.

Located on a triangular-shaped lot bound by W Caton Street, N Milwaukee Avenue, and the CTA L tracks, the new construction will replace a masonry commercial building. Zoning was approved late last year to reduce the required 30-foot-long rear setback to one foot.

  1. While this more fronts Milwaukee and some strip malls that are ripe for redevelopment, the other side of the L on Caton has some of the nicest homes in the Wicker Park historic district, and this design should work harder to reflect the charm of the neighborhood. That doesn’t necessarily mean brick! A sleek modern design (dark metal and high quality windows) could contrast those homes very nicely.

    This is good density, but this looks like any other piece of crap going up in parts of Lakeview, Lincoln Park, and more auto-centric streets around town. Try harder…
