The Chicago City Council has approved a mixed-use development at 1138 W Belmont Avenue in Lake View. Located at the intersection of W Belmont Avenue and N Clifton Avenue, the property is a corner lot. The parcel is currently occupied by a one-story masonry building that holds the soon-to-close Tenenbaum Hardware store. SNS Realty Group is the developer behind the proposal.

Rising 59 feet tall, it will hold 33 dwelling units with ground-floor commercial space fronting W Belmont Avenue. Additionally, 16 parking spaces and 28 bike parking spaces will be provided.

The developers plan to rezone the site from B3-2 to B3-3 to allow for the density of the project and additionally allow for a Transit-Oriented Development designation that allows for the parking reduction.

Good to see increased density, but I’m tired of these boring designs and even more tired of these high parking ratios.
