A new construction home at 3709 North Oakley Avenue in North Center permitted in March now has permission to add a coach house with an Additional Dwelling Unit. The new home replaces a 1926-built masonry building addressed as 3711 North Oakley that was permitted for demolition in January. Real estate sites indicate builder G Alan Development purchased the property in 2024 for $820,000.

The permit for the coach house was issued on December 9 following its application on November 13, and it includes a reported cost of $100,000. It calls for a two-story structure with three parking spaces on the first floor and the ADU upstairs.
The permit for the main residence was issued March 18, and came through with a reported cost of $900,000. It calls for a two-story plus basement single-family residence with a deck and pergola on the roof, a front porch on the first floor, and a rear enclosed porch. The two-space parking pad included with this permit will be overridden by the ADU permit. Pavlovcik Architecture is cited as the architect of record for both structures.

G Alan Development is acting as their own general contractor on the build. A listing from Compass Realty shows the home contingent for $2.8 million.

The existing building looks so much better than the planned building
Reminds me of 2 new homes in Bucktown that have popped up that look like if you mixed faux-Parisian townhomes with those Utah/Tennessee modern farmhouse McMansions.
I hope someone just rehabs the existing building. This is a dud.
Not going to happen. The new home is topped out. I just added a couple photos.
An ADU at this price point for the main residence (2.8 mil), in this neighborhood, is kinda weird. Only conceivable use is an inlaw suite or an ultimate man cave.
