Permits were issued yesterday for a new residential build located at 1547 N Wieland Street in the Old Town neighborhood. The permit owner is listed as Western Development Group. The four-story development will comprised eight units and a below-grade basement parking garage. Plans show that there will be front balconies on the second through fourth stories as well as rear metal porches on all levels. There will be an outdoor stair that will extend to a rooftop deck and enclosure. The site is currently a parking lot. The developers have a twin construction at 1543 N Wieland Street.
Michael S Cox is listed as the architect of record on this project as well. No drawings or renderings have been made public.
Future residents of this development will find both CTA Brown and Purple Lines at the Sedgewick station via a five-minute walk west. Bus service for Route 9 and 72 can be found at the North Avenue & Wells stop via a two-minute walk north. There are many dining and entertainment options within walking distance of the site.
McNea & Sons Construction will be acting as the general contractor for the $3 million project. An anticipated timeline has not been revealed.

Fantastic gentle density, much better use than a parking lot.
