Construction is drawing to a close for a four-story residential building at 4937 N Winthrop Avenue in Uptown. Variable Properties LLC is the project developer, whose plans consist of seven total condominium units. Prior to this development, the parcel was occupied by a three-story masonry residence.

Five of the units will have three bedrooms and two baths, while the remaining two listings will be duplexes with three or four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Residences will come with European-inspired finishes and private outdoor terraces. There will also be two private rooftop decks for the uppermost residences, and seven total parking spaces, five of which are housed within a detached rear garage and the other two being surface spaces.
The design by Chicago-based Vari Architects includes a dark brick facade, protruding balconies, and stone accents.

I’d rather live in the old building to the left. Another boxy charmless infill Chicago building with a simply morose selection of brick color.
J. No one is stopping you from living in the old building to the left.
I’d rather see a street of the buildings on the left….then banal boxy bland boring buildings filling the city…….I appreciate the offer. Thank you!
