Now topped out, the 60,000-square-foot building received a foundation permit from the City of Chicago on March 3 of 2023, followed by the full building permit on May 26, 2023.

A rendering from architect of record Kennedy Mann shows a two-tone brick-over-block design with rental units in the upper four levels, and commercial space on the ground floor, with glass wrapping around the corner spaces that face Winthrop Avenue. Amenities are to include a rooftop deck and fitness center. 35 parking spaces, some indoors and some outdoors, are also part of the project.

Windows are noticeably smaller than the renderings…
Better for insulation/less heat exchange. They’re still plenty big enough.
I live in front of this building and believe me – windows are huge. European style of opening and closing what’s way better than usually you can see in U.S. And they do their job pretty fast.
