A permit issued Tuesday by the City of Chicago means construction can begin for 2237 Roscoe, a new residential development at 2237 West Roscoe Street in Roscoe Village. The application to build was filed on March 18 of this year, with the five-month wait ending on August 19th. The reported cost of the permit is $5.5 million.

2233 West Roscoe was permitted for demolition on July 10
Garner Development of North Park is both the developer and contractor here. They will erect a four-story, six-unit building designed by Raffi Arzoumanian of a+c Architects on the southwest corner of Roscoe Street and Bell Avenue. The for-sale condominiums will be four- and five-bedroom units. While the permit does not specify the number of spaces, a website already created for 2237 Roscoe calls for garage parking at ground level. The developer’s project page and permit information both acknowledge outdoor rooftop space. A rendering of the building shows no balconies facing Bell Avenue or Roscoe Street, but does not include an image of the south and west façades.

Garner developed hopes to have units available for occupation in fall 2026, with prices ranging from $1.5 million to $2.5 million.
Route 49 buses are available two blocks west at Western Avenue. Route 152 buses make stops two blocks north at Addison and Leavitt Streets, while the Route 77 bus, also running east-west, runs two blocks south along Belmont Avenue. The 152 Addison bus can be used to connect with the Addison Blue Line train to O’Hare to the west, or the Addison Brown Line and Red Line platforms to the east.

Wow, a classy infill project in a Chicago neighborhood! Nice to see. This is refreshing and inspiring building with the corect scale for the site. Looks like the buildings they are putting up in SoHo, NYC. So glad it’s not another Ashland Ave. cookie cutter rental building.
you’re really not going to see a very nice building built on ashland ave since you wont get a nice price for it – rental or condo.
1235 and 1257 N Ashland (especially 1257), which are both going up right now, look really nice. Then there’s a complete dud by Hanna being built a couple doors down.
Hey Daniel, great coverage. But this looks like an outdated rendering. Check out garnerdevelopment dot com for the updated image.
You’re right; I didn’t pay close attention to it. New rendering added. Thank you.
4 and 5 bedrooms, thats different!
Do we think that setting it back from Roscoe sidewalk is a positive change?
It looks like it was pulled back from the sidewalk to sink the first floor a bit. It appears that was done to shorten the building and provide a privacy buffer to that floor. I don’t know why it was shortened but I wouldn’t be surprised if it came from neighbors concerned about height.
Not gonna lie, like the old rendering more. The new one is still looking better than most new construction, but it has lost its pizazz of initial excitement. The detail of the entrance was exceptionally sexy. And the indents of the windows with scaled-down frames had such a nice texture.
VE-ing and code just be the reality sometimes…
Man, what a nice looking project. 4 & 5 beds in a 6 unit building too. Once again, the city needs to do everything we can to support these types of developments.
It’s funny that we celebrate buildings with large apartments because “families” yet we drag buildings with one and two bedroom apartments. These condos and apartments are most likely going to be close to $1 million when they sell. They’re denser than single family homes, which is nice, but this is no different than a huge tower with luxury apartments in terms of affordability. I’m all-in on any new denser development that will help alleviate the housing shortage, enhance the urban fabric, help the city’s tax base, and enrich livability in the city.
Good design is a plus, style is subjective, but build quality isn’t. This is a nice design, the units will be unaffordable for most, but the people who buy these will free up perhaps more affordable housing somewhere else.
