Construction of Lakeview Landing continues at 835 West Addison Street in Lake View, with the most prominent signs of progress showing on the concrete cores for the elevator and stairwell. Each of those, the elevator on the northeast corner of the site and the stairwell on the southwest corner, have reached the sixth level of the future six-story building.

Powers & Sons Construction is the general contractor here, delivering 37 affordable one-bedroom units to the Wrigleyville neighborhood. The building will include a 12-space parking garage on the ground floor, along with a community room to be utilized by Lake View Lutheran Church, whose building was demolished after they donated the property to the Over The Rainbow Association for redevelopment.

Looks like a cheap airport hotel. No understanding of the value of a culture of built architecture that makes Chicago a city worth looking at.
Normally I would agree with you but this project is 100% affordable housing for people with accessibility issues and disabilities. It’s essentially a public service with very expensive round-the-clock services for the adults who need help and outreach. I think we can give them a pass in this regard for not being to afford anything very cool looking — it is indeed meant to be utilitarian shelter first and foremost.
No they do not get a pass
Why? Who is going to fund it? You? It’s a public service not market rate housing
I agree. We want every affordable unit to be an architectural gem and then complain about costs.
Gray is not my thing, nor are unframed, minimalist windows, but I applaud the partial cornice and the bold Cubby Blue accents. Chicago can benefit from splashy color palettes sprinkled through its neighborhoods, as LA and many other cities do.
I have heard the blue is a tribute to the nearby police station
