The Chicago Plan Commission has deferred at the request of the applicant the residential development at 2120 W Webster Avenue in Bucktown. Sitting on the intersection with N Hamilton Street, plans for the structure were revealed over a year ago and if approved on Jan 16, 2025, will replace a surface parking lot on the campus of St Hedwig Catholic Church.

Developer 2219 North Hamilton LLC is working with local firm SPACE Architects + Planners on the new three-story building made to mimic the design of some of the existing structures on the campus. The structure will be built against the existing convent building which was converted into residential units a few years ago.

Inside the building will be 12 residential units made up of two studios, four one-bedrooms, four two-bedrooms, and two three-bedroom layouts, ranging from 541 to 1,196 square feet in size. Of the 12, two units will be considered affordable for those making 60 percent AMI. Residents will have access to new bike racks, but will utilize the existing parking lots within the complex.

The brick-clad structure will feature limestone bandings and trim, with arched windows on the top floor. With an estimated cost of $3.8 million, no construction timeline is known for the development though the team did state that construction will take around 14 months to complete once it started.

DLA Piper is a law firm.
Ian, “Developer DLA Piper” is that the correct name? I thought they were a Chicago law firm.
Beautiful building, hopefully it gets built.
