Plans have been revealed for a mixed-use development at 2240 N Clybourn Avenue, near the western edge of Lincoln Park. Located at the intersection with N Greenview Avenue, the proposal will replace a two-story industrial structure. The project is being led by local developer Platinum Homes Development.

Like other smaller developments across the city, this project is being designed by the local firm Hanna Architects. The new structure will rise four stories and reach approximately 46 feet in height, with the ground floor spanning the entire site. This level will include approximately 3,000 square feet of retail space and a nine-vehicle parking garage accessed from the alley.

The upper floors will be set back from the alley, creating private rooftop terraces for the second-floor units. In total, the building will contain nine residential units, all featuring three-bedroom layouts. The remaining units will have private balconies, while those on the top floor will also include small rooftop decks.
Given the number of units, the development will not be required to include any affordable housing. It is currently unknown whether the units will be rentals or for sale, though the unit size and one-to-one parking ratio suggest residences may be intended for sale. At this time, the developer has applied to rezone the site from manufacturing to mixed-use. However, no construction timeline has been announced.

This country is what’s backwards. We need affordable housing to be spread out rather than clustered in areas that become slums, so it works pretty well in an expensive part of the city like this
Any builder that can avoid affordable units will
