The Chicago City Council has approved plans for a mixed-use development at 2411 West Congress Parkway in Tri-Taylor. The project was announced earlier this year as the team, led by 4Corners LLC, prepares to replace a former church rectory on the corner of Western Avenue, directly across from the Eisenhower Expressway.

The new five-story building, designed by local firm Kennedy Mann, will rise to 62 feet at its tallest point. Inside, there will be 50,000 square feet of space, with the ground floor anchored by a 25-vehicle parking garage at the rear, accessed via the alley. This level will also include a small lobby, a bike parking room, tenant storage space, and some residential units.

In total, there will be 58 residential units made up of 20 studios, 30 one-bedrooms, and eight two-bedroom layouts. All of the units on the upper floors will have their own balconies. Previous announcements also mention that all the studios will be designated as affordable housing. There will be no shared rooftop or additional amenity space.

The building will be clad in a mix of multi-toned brick and decorative panels. The approval comes shortly after the same developer proposed a residential conversion of the adjacent church building at 2401 West Congress Parkway. At this time, no cost or timeline has been revealed for the project, and the developer will need to apply for zoning approval.

Good spot right by the Western blue line station.
This area could be really nice in 10 years. Tri Taylor in general had a failed attempt at gentrification in the 90s, but I think the UC dev could spur this area on
