Construction has surpassed the third floor at 1039-41 W Belmont Avenue, a four-story retail and residential building in Lakeview. The mixed-use structure has been planned by the occupying owner Cumin Restaurant, originally listed as Kathmandu Properties in the issued permit. Prior to construction, the parcel was occupied by a two-story masonry building, which was demolished in 2019.

The design by Red Architects consists of a dark gray masonry that’s broken up by a central vertical bay and balconies on the upper three floors. A secondary wood cladding also lines sections of this front facade.
CTA service for the Red, Brown, and Purple Lines can all be found at Belmont station via a three-minute walk from the property. Bus service offers several options in the vicinity, the closest being Route 77 via a one-minute walk west to Belmont & Seminary. Additional bus stops can be found for Routes 8, 9, X9, 22, 36, 151, 152, and 156.

Decent plans, mish-mash of tacky materials. It’s not urbane. Is that brick, and wood, and storefront windows for homes….with bright red signage? hmmm.
