The residential development at 1235 North Ashland Avenue in Wicker Park has taken similar strides in progress as its neighbor at 1257 North Ashland just up the street. We took a look at an update Thursday on 1257; 1235 is also at grade level, and will rise the same five stories. They are both being led by Noah Properties, with Buildmax as general contractor. They got a new permit from the city to build 1235 North Ashland on February 6, showing a reported construction cost of $4 million.

As they did for 1257 North Ashland, Jonathan SPLITT Architects drew up the plans for 1235, and it too is replacing buildings that used to be part of the Mike’s Furniture complex. And while it will rise just as tall, it will be a smaller project, with 16 dwelling units and just four parking spaces. Those parking stalls will be inside the ground floor, along with one large commercial space and a small residential lobby.

The apartments will all be located on the upper four floors, with two one-bedroom units and a pair two-bedroom apartments on each floor. Every unit will have a private balcony; the two-bedroom floor plans are located at the front of the building, and their balconies will face west, overlooking Ashland Avenue. The one-bedroom units, at the rear of the structure, will have east-facing balconies facing the alley.
