Construction on a five-story, 36-unit residential project at 4713 North Clark Street continues upward in Uptown. Developer and general contractor Platinum Homes received a building permit on January 6th of this year, and now their crew has reached the underside of the third floor. The construction site, on the northeast corner of Clark Street and Leland Avenue, formerly held a Byline Bank branch that was permitted for demolition in 2022 to allow redevelopment to begin.

360 Design Studio is the architect of record for the new build. The first floor will include a residential lobby at the north end of the building and a garage with 18 parking spaces accessed from the alley off Leland. The elevator building will offer amenities including a bike storage room and office space. Apartments on levels two through five will feature balconies facing either east or west, and a small roof deck will sit atop the garage entrance. Spring 2026 is the anticipated timing for move-in ready units.

Public transit options include the Route 22 bus, which stops right outside the residential lobby at Leland and Clark. One block south, at Clark and Wilson, are stops for Routes 22, 78, and 81. The 78 and 81 buses can be used to connect to the Wilson Red/Purple Line platform about half a mile east. Once renovations are complete on the Lawrence Red Line elevated platform, the 81 bus will be redirected back to Lawrence Avenue, where it will have stops one block north of the development at Lawrence and Clark. The newly-rerouted Route 9 bus stops two blocks away at Ashland and Wilson Avenues.

This is a super well connected location. Walk to Damen brown line, Wilson Red/Purple line and Metra Ravenswood station. And close to Montrose Beach.
Are there affordable units?
The original plan was to have four affordable on-site units. I believe that is still the case.
