Upon completion, the development will feature 80 for-rent apartments and 4,200 square feet of retail, replacing the three low-rise buildings that previously occupied the southernmost part of the block.

Someone in this city with a voice that matters between developers to architects to structural engineers to elected officials needs to start asking if this is really the best we can do. The Committee on Design is absolutely worthless and aren’t elevating standards as much as they are nitpicking to encourage changes they personally prefer. This belongs in Mt. Prospect.
