Two new condominium units are coming online at 1834 North Hudson Avenue in Lincoln Park’s Old Town Neighborhood. Dubbed Hudson on the Parks for their proximity to Sedgwick Park, Bauler Park, and Hudson Chess Park, the residences are being built by Pro-Homes of Summit, IL, who are performing general contractor duties as well as being the project’s developer. The building has topped out, with most of the brickwork having been completed on both the residential building and the garage.
Michael Cox Associates has designed a brick-clad four-story building with a basement for the site. The building permit, issued by the City of Chicago on August 20, calls for two units with exterior decks at the rear of the building. A rendering on the construction banner shows half of the top (fourth) floor as an open rooftop space. A detached two-car garage accessed from the alley will also be topped by a roof deck.
The new building replaces a multi-unit residence that was demolished this summer. Public records show the building, built in 1890, sold in August for just over $1.5 million. A demo permit was issued by the city on August 12, with Carlos Group performing demolition work.
Residents of Hudson on the Parks will have a two-block walk to reach CTA bus service via the Route 37 bus at Wisconsin and Sedgwick Streets. The nearest elevated train access is just under half a mile to the south at the Sedgwick Brown/Purple Line platform; the 73 bus can be used to connect to the L here. Also at this location are stops for the Route 72 North Avenue bus and the N9 Ashland “Night Owl” route, an overnight extension that connects Ashland Avenue and Clark Street.

Those new builds on this street are quite handsome and, shocking to say for a staunch preservationist, I think they’re an upgrade from the “shack-y” cottages that used to be there
Kind of unfortunate that they couldn’t have bought out that 2000’s era condo next door instead for this project. A bit unfortunate what happened across the street as well with those gorgeous vintage buildings. Yet…the 70’s infill that nobody wants still sits on both sides of the street.
