Initial details have been revealed for a new residential high-rise at 1415 North Dayton Street in Lincoln Park. Located at the intersection with West Evergreen Avenue just off Halsted, the project joins several nearby proposals, including the 23-story development at 1333 N. Kingsbury Street and the 37-story tower a few blocks away at 1565 N. Clybourn Avenue.

Set to rise over 300 feet in height, the new tower is being developed through a partnership between Honore Properties and Peerless Development, who currently own the existing lofts building on the site. After being unable to find appropriate floor plans for a conversion, the team partnered with bKL Architecture to start from scratch on the 28-story development, per Crain’s.

The property would utilize the development rights of three surrounding parcels to upzone the site. The building would be anchored by a five-story podium clad in gray brick and is set to contain over 100 parking spaces. Above this would be a large inset amenity floor connected to an outdoor deck, with the tower suspended above—similar to bKL’s The Dylan in Fulton Market.

The tower would contain 340 residential units, most likely made up of studios, one-, and two-bedroom layouts, though this has not yet been confirmed. Of those, 68 units would be designated as affordable. The building would also be capped by a large rooftop deck, with select corner units featuring private balconies.

Clad in glass, the structure would be accented by black metal vertical stripes, reminiscent of the area’s industrial architecture. The overall project is expected to cost around $145 million to complete and will need to gain city approval prior to moving forward. The team hopes to achieve that in the coming months and begin vertical construction in the fall, ahead of a projected spring 2028 completion.

“Needs city approval”….and the battle of Lincoln Park continues. Same as it ever was. Love the optimism though
Lot of high rises have come up around there. It has made driving around there a little onerous which we need to think about. Probably best solution is not allow any street parking on Eastman or Evergren.
Well, the whole idea is to make this area a more inviting place to walk around, instead of driving around. Early developments here were all oriented around the car. More recent developments have shifted towards density and urbanism, but the legacy of all of those shopping centers still makes people who live in this area want to drive. I imagine this has created a traffic nightmare for drivers.
In the long run, however, making the area less car dependent will make it a more desirable and livable area
100%. I drove to that Whole Foods the other day to return an Amazon package (sigh) and it was pure gridlock. I’d love to see some density in the greater area but I don’t see how this will work. That stretch of Kingsbury is a joke.
Like your example above, the traffic problems in this area are caused by the retail components of the neighborhood. It’s not like 100+ cars in this tower will all be on the street at the same time and driving around the neighborhood all day long.
I will also mention that the Courtland street bridge is closed which puts all that traffic including buses onto North Ave.
Not allowing any on street parking will actually speed up traffic, making the streets more dangerous for pedestrians. The best solution is to slow the traffic down, provide more on street retail/commercial, provide wider sidewalks and other street amenities to enhance the pedestrian experience, and improve transit in the area. Once people feel more comfortable walking in the area, it will encourage people to get out of their cars to enjoy what’s there instead of driving from parking lot to parking lot.
Yep, the sidewalk on North Avenue around there is narrow and a terrible pedestrian experience
Love to see this area slowly redevelop. This area has some good bones – I wonder if this area will become the next “West Loop” in the next development boom cycle.
I’d much rather they build it on giant empty fields by target down the street but oh well, it’s city of Chicago who owns those plots so they’ll remain empty for another 20 years. Instead sturdy brick structures will be bulldozed. 🤦🏻♂️
Also side note – any updates on 1565 N Clybourn Yimby team?
Hey Alex! None that we have heard unfortunately.
Podium = puke. That being said, it’s not the most visible location, the unit:parking ratio isn’t bad, and it provides much needed housing. Guess it’s a win.
I’m really happy to see the development in this area but I wish this tower was replacing the strip mall across the street and the loft buildings were converted to residential to maintain some kind of character for the area
This. The podium is incredibly ugly and what it’s replacing is very handsome. Unfortunate
YIMBY – are you able to clarify if the ground level is proposed as commercial retail/office or is it parking all 5 floors? The way this area has been evolving it feels like vertical suburbia to me; barren and lonely. Perhaps the city can assert itself and stimulate street level commercial activity – if anyone in a position to influence……cares.
Hello!
We have not been able to confirm yet, I have reached out to the team but did not want to include any speculations until I know.
Looking forward to three years of people tearing their hair out about how this building is going to destroy the neighborhood. And the brick on the podium is so completely the wrong color. The project will be reduced 12% in size, and the extorted will be redesigned in different colors. The “masses” will be diagnosed as inadequately “broken up”.
The aldercreature will hem, then haw, then hem again, all while dragging in campaign contributions from the developer and the angry constituents.
It will be built, eventually, as a shorter, stunted-looking oddly-colored thing. And the bored neighborhood gray-hairs will still be completely pissed that it was allowed.
I don’t remember Chicago being this way in the early 2000’s but it is pathetic. I don’t know who ushered in the community engagement process that the entire city adopted but it needs to end. It’s an abuse of power and not at all what community feedback on zoning was intended to push back on.
These people fight as though a refinery is being proposed next to their children’s school anytime something over four stories is proposed.
Stole every word from my mouth!
I wish this was going up on any of the vacant, strip malls, or parking sites in the area instead of demolishing 4 story loft buildings.
Why does this building include so much parking? Surely people living in studios and one-beds in the center of town don’t need to own a car.
Have you used L? It’s not safe, especially for those who pay 3k a month for one bedroom as that’s the prices in this area. that’s why everyone needs parking.
