There will also be a recessed terrace area along the second floor, along with protruding stacked balconies along the third and fourth floors.

  1. This should have been a 15-20 story high-rise minimum. Classic underutiluzation here. Residents need to lose the stranglehold they have on zoning/development. Lincoln Park has 4,000 fewer dwelling units than it had in the 1970’s.

    Keeping populations stunted like this is losing significant tax revenue and investment dollars for the city. It contributes to prices being inflated as well as keeping the built environment from ever transforming. Instead of eventually moving to the suburbs like normal, today these radicals that hate every element of big city life turned the neighborhoods into the suburbs.

    • Assuming there will be an average of 1.5 people per unit in this building, and given the lot and surrounding street and alleyway dimensions, the population density of this building will come to the equivalent of approximately 100,000 people per square mile. That’s hardly a “population stunting” “suburban” density by any reasonable means of calculation. If you want your comment section rants to be taken seriously, make sure your numbers add up.

  2. Big or small, the design should have been an addition to the street. This design as presented and as constructed is sadly, clunky, under-detailed, and offers nothing to the street-scape.
