A caisson permit was issued Monday for the residential development at 310 North Huron Street in the River North neighborhood. That allows developer and general contractor ZSD Corp to begin work in the coming weeks on their 149-unit apartment building where a surface parking lot now stands.

Pappageorge Haymes Partners designed the new nine-story structure, which will contain a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans. The ground floor will include retail space along the east end of the building fronting Franklin Street, bicycle storage, the residential lobby, and according to a floor plan drawing, 11 duplex units. Parking will be limited to 21 surface spaces accessed from the alley between North Franklin and North Orleans Streets.

The ninth floor will be dedicated to residential amenities, to include coworking space, a fitness center, a sky deck, and lounges. Select apartments will have private balconies.

Two permits for 310 West Huron remain pending in the Chicago Data Portal. One is for the foundation through seventh floor and shows an application date of July 2nd. The second is dated October 27 and allows the construction of the two upper floors. Joining ZSD on the build is concrete contractor Adjustable Concrete Construction. ZSD Corp plans a 2027 opening for tenants moving into their new apartments.

This Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is located within a block of the Chicago Red/Purple Line elevated platform, and two blocks from stops for the CTA’s Route 37 and 66 buses. The rerouted #8 bus also stops nearby while Halsted Street is closed for reconstruction of its viaduct. As part of that same project, the #66 Chicago Avenue bus is also rerouted for now, but that project should be completed before 310 West Huron is open.

Hey Daniel, is it normal to split the floor permits like that? Foundation thru seven, and the last two.
I wouldn’t say it’s abnormal, but I thought it was a bit odd. Let’s call it “quirky.”
I’m very happy to see this parcel being filled in, but crossing my fingers that the external materials look better in real life than they do in these renderings. Keep going, River North needs to fill in all of its long-standing surface parking lots.
No parking podium! And fills one of the last big gap along all of Franklin St. I suppose that makes up for the stubby height and horrid park/dog walk facing Orleans.
I think I’ll just declare victory on this one.
Nice in fill, more of these lots need to be developed to help up River North density, retail vacancies will slowly be developed as people activate the areas.
Love that this is filling in (arguably) River North’s most egregious parking lot. I always notice this one when taking the Brown Line. Glad to see no parking podium and an aggressive timeline!
Is that “neighboring parcel” on Orleans under some other ownership?
I’m trying to figure out why that isn’t being developed?
