Two new residential developments have been revealed near each other in Lincoln Park and Lake View. The first is located at 2503 N Clark Street just south of W Diversey Parkway, with the other being just north of it at 2814 N Halsted Street. Both would rise on the site of a one-story commercial building in the near future.

Located on the corner with W St. James Place, details for the project were revealed by 43rd ward Alderman Timmy Knudsen earlier this week. Set to rise five-stories tall and clad in multi-toned red brick facade with vertical inset window bays, the interior will hold ground floor retail space, an event space, and an undisclosed amount of units. A developer and architect is currently unknown.

Also set to rise five stories tall, the project would add four-stories atop of the existing building. This would preserve two of the existing tenants and transform the middle space into a lobby for the 12-residential units above made up entirely of two-bedroom layouts. The top floor itself will hold a small gym, fitness room, and rooftop deck. The building is being designed by Angelica Borromeo, the developer is also currently unknown.

Both buildings are seeking to rezone their respective sites requiring approval from both the Committee on Zoning and City Council, with the Clark Street site heading to a community meeting first later this month. Currently a timeline is unknown for both as well.

Like the Halsted idea a lot,
1. The existing building has a nice facade so the conversion maintains the feel of that area
2.the two businesses won’t be displaced which means no empty storefronts
3. No parking added. Its a walkable area with a #8 bus stop on the corner and a Brown line station a couple of blocks away — it doesn’t need parking.
Clark Building: Design looks good, but needs trees along St. James. St James is a bit ugly close to Clark and needs trees. Can city put traffic calming bump out at St James corner for trees? Those tree planters along Clark might be garbage collectors and take up too much sidewalk space? Keep the trees.
Might I recommend getting in contact with the 43rd ward alderperson to discuss if you feel so strongly?
Are these developments condo or rental?
Angelica who used to be a city architectural reviewer?
These plans don’t meet code by a long shot.
Exteriors look good though.
