Two residential developments from Wilmot Properties are nearing their completions at the intersection of Fullerton and Washtenaw Avenues in Logan Square. Upon their openings, they’ll deliver 35 new apartments to the neighborhood just three blocks from the California Blue Line elevated platform.

The larger of the two buildings, 2354 North Washtenaw was permitted for construction on July 2 of last year with a reported cost of an even $5 million. The five-story structure will hold 20 dwelling units. Some apartments will have inset terraces facing north or east, while others will have suspended balconies at the rear of the building facing south. The first floor will contain retail space and garage parking for 17 cars.

2357 North Washtenaw was permitted for construction on August 2, 2024. It too will rise five stories, but contain five fewer units that its counterpart across the street. Balconies, some inset and some hanging, will face north and south. The ground floor will again contain retail space, as well as a 13-car garage. Its permit carries a reported cost of $4,488,300.

Man for a neighborhood with rising rents and space to build there doesn’t seem to be much development in Logan Square
Do a R.E. search on 60647. Not all that much available. Prices including land and tear-down prices are high and could be due to speculation which might slow things down a bit.
I know, it like it’s hard to build in Chicago or something.
Quality looking buildings
Please tell me they’re going to tear down that massive billboard blocking one of the units lol
I thought the exact same thing. What an eyesore.
Was hoping they would tear that down and the parking lot for another building. Would be a nice bit of density on that corner of lofts and new apartments.
Verging on forbiddingly massive, but the volumes are decently broken up and are detailed nicely enough. The sheer amount of brick gives them that fortress-like appearance that so many neo-Chicago vernacular buildings have, but they still make nice bookends for the street.
== Verging on forbiddingly massive ==
It’s a 4 over 1. That’s hardly “massive”.
*City implements practical density used everywhere in the world*
“These structures have ruined my life! The shadows gave my cat cancer, and I can no longer park my lifted F150 in the solitude of a major throughfare. How are we to enjoy the stale air of parking lot now that our rusty billboard is blocked??”
