Window installation work is wrapping up for the nine-story mixed-use building known as Platform 4611, located at 4611 N Broadway in Uptown. The topped-out, 103-foot-tall project is being developed in partnership between John Buck Company and Free Market Ventures, who have planned for 12,000 square feet of retail and 200 rental apartments above.

The L-shape design by Chicago-based Pappageorge Haymes is predominated by a tan masonry facade with large floor-to-ceiling windows. White masonry is also used along the first-floor storefronts, while dark metal trimming will be seen throughout the exterior. The top of the building is also set back to allow for a rooftop terrace area looking toward the skyline.

Given the transit-oriented nature of the project, parking will provide 22 garage spaces. There will also be a bike room with 178 slots. As for public-transportation, the CTA Red and Purple Lines at Wilson station are directly across the intersection of Broadway & Wilson, accompanied by nearby bus stops for Routes 36, 78, and 81.

Really good to see Uptown get this level of investment
What a great upgrade compared to what was there before. I wish we had thousands of buildings like this replacing strip malls throughout the city.
Love the density. I wish the facade was a bit more varied and less monolithic.
