Updated plans have been revealed for the proposed mixed-use development at 2800 North Sheridan Road in Lake View. Just under a month ago, we covered the project’s initial plans along West Diversey Parkway. Now, the team has returned with added density and additional uses to improve the streetfront—an approach that has become uncommon as of late.

Developer Continuum originally planned a 24-story, 281-foot-tall tower and a detached parking garage to replace the existing six-story medical office building and its parking lot to the north. The proposal included 303 units, 10,559 square feet of commercial space within the high-rise, 150 parking spaces, and a small lounge within the garage.

Now, the Antunovich Associates–designed proposal calls for a 28-story tower rising to 324 feet, still in line with surrounding buildings. The lower levels will continue to include 10,559 square feet of commercial space, along with over 8,500 square feet of amenity space. Above, the tower will now contain 355 units, made up of studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts.

The most significant change comes to the parking garage. It will contain 152 spaces in a reconfigured layout, allowing for 10,000 square feet of medical office space on the second floor along the streetfront. Additionally, a third floor has been added to accommodate a 26,000-square-foot health club. Both will be accessed from a new lobby replacing the former garage lounge.

Materials across all components will remain consistent, with the lower levels utilizing gray brick and the tower clad in a glass curtain wall with a black metal grid. The added garage levels will be framed by white paneling surrounding floor-to-ceiling windows. Additionally, the team will preserve two sculptures from the original building.
Plans will still need approval from the local alderman before advancing to rezoning with the city. No timeline has been established.

Nice
Even better!
I maintain that this location could support double this height but this is a nice progression for the project.
That Chicago is long gone.
Agreed! This is a prime site to create a beautiful and iconic building
Love the design and thrilled to see they’re already talking about adding height instead of reducing it.
Hopefully this project spurs CTA to offer more frequent & reliable buses along a corridor that’s not especially well-served by transit right now, considering its density. My vote would be adding either the #22 or the #36 to the Frequent Bus Network.
Now it’s time to build, I sent in feedback to the 44th ward alderman about encouraging the developer to reduce parking and do more with the parcel that contains the garage with active use. I have no delusions my feedback did anything, but maybe enough people submitted similar feedback that encouraged the developer to not shy away from doing this.
I think it’s ready to build!
Is this health club for the building or the public? 26,000 is huge for an apartment amenity.
Absolutely thrilled they came back denser and taller – I’m used to seeing reduced plans and concessions to nimbys. I personally think it’s a fairly attractive building, especially compared to what’s around it.
