Initial details have been revealed for the mixed-use development at 3327 N Lincoln Avenue in Lake View. Located just south of the intersection with W Roscoe Street near the Paulina Brown Line station, the project will replace four existing buildings including the former home of beloved Dinkel’s Bakery. Now developer PCR Group has submitted a rezoning application for the Jonathan Splitt Architects designed structure.

The wedged-lot features two street fronts as it is bound by N Marshfield Avenue to the east and other buildings on the north and south sides as well. The V-shaped building will perform a facade-ectomy in order to preserve the old Dinkel’s storefront and neon marquee sign, incorporating it into the project’s western face as it rises six-stories and 80-feet in height.

The ground floor will hold a 2,700 square-foot commercial space along Lincoln with the residential lobby and coworking amenity space behind the Dinkel’s facade. This will be joined by a 20-vehicle and 42-bicycle parking garage accessed from Marshfield. Residents will also have access to a small fitness room on the second floor and rooftop amenity space connected to a large outdoor deck

The rest of the 66,000 square-foot building will contain 42 residential units made up of four studios, 10 one-bedroom, 21 two-bedroom, and seven three-bedroom layouts ranging from 628 square-feet to 1,318 square-feet in size. In order to follow city ordinances nine of the units, or 20-percent, will need to be considered affordable, however all of the building’s residences will have access to an inset balcony.

The overall form will use multiple setbacks and insets to split up the total massing, clad in a mixture of corrugated metal, multiple colors of metal panels, and dark colored masonry. Future residents will also have access to CTA bus routes 9, 77 and 152 within a short walk. At the moment no formal construction timeline has been announced, however the developer shows a delivery date of 2024 on their website which may be outdated.

Ridiculously soulless. Why does every new development resemble The Streets of Woodfield circa ‘95?
Seriously. I thought this city had decent architects. Where are they?
I hate to tell you, but by modern standards this is quite nice. I just this afternoon drove through a new section of North Phoenix. Unbelievably dreary and cheap. Chicago’s newest buildings aren’t anywhere near as awful.
I wish Marshfield was treated less as an alley. I’m not complaining about the architecture as much as the street experience. It doesn’t interact with the street in a way which is appropriate for a residential street.
Could it be any uglier? And repetitive of other ugly developments that are replacing old neighborhood charm. Ugh.
