Construction has been approved for two nearly identical residential buildings at 4645-47 N Clark Street in Uptown. Clark Estate LLC is the developer behind the four-story twin edifices, which will yield a total of six units, according to the approved permits. The new construction is set to replace two two-story buildings, which were demolished early 2020.
Features will include a rooftop deck with a stair enclosure and wooden trellis, a rear porch, and a detached three-car garage with a separate rooftop deck. Designed by Hanna Architects, each building mirrors one another, comprising of a mixed-material facade with expansive windows, a multi-colored masonry palette, and metal paneling enclosing the upper two floors. The second and third floors also come with recessed balconies facing the street.

just clean up the existing buildings…they have ever so much charm and history….add a set-back glass box on the top of each. The hulk that is proposed is UGLY and will have unadorned sheetrock walls, home depot tile at best, and fake wood floors if that on the inside, no doubt.
Citizens of Chicago….march to Hannah Architects and demand better!!!!
