Final touches for both interior and exterior work can be seen at the 2740 North Spaulding Avenue (filed under 2755 N Milwaukee Avenue) in Logan Square. R.P. Fox & Associates is the developer behind the six-story mixed-use building, whose interior programming involves ground-level retail split into five segments, along with 60 apartments on the upper floors. Prior to demolition and subsequent construction, the roughly half-acre property was occupied by a single-story bakery and a parking lot.

  1. Painfully generic.

  2. design is absolutely awful, but zero parking, lots of retail, and taking up a surface parking lot makes up for it i guess.

  3. did a 9 year old with ADHD pick out the facade?

  4. It’s unfortunate that the developer didn’t provide any public green space. No consideration for pedestrians.

  5. Another sad case of “opposite facade” where the back is fully bricked but the prominent vertical sections facing the street get cheap materials. Not to mention how “contemporary” architects seem to either hate or have no knowledge of moldings whatsoever. Its not like this is an affordable development where there’s at least that excuse to cheap out.
