The Chicago Plan Commission has approved the upcoming residential development at 1415 North Dayton Street in Lincoln Park. Initially revealed in February, additional details have now been published as part of the review process ahead of City Council consideration. The project is being led by Honore Properties and Peerless Development.

Local firm bKL Architecture is designing the 28-story tower, which will include a five-story podium anchored by a 163-space parking garage. While there will be no ground-floor retail, the lobby will span most of the street frontage along the corner with West Evergreen Avenue, with the parking garage accessed from the alley.

Residential units will begin on the sixth floor, alongside an amenity room and a large outdoor deck. In total, the project will include 340 units, consisting of 105 studios, 190 one-bedroom units, 42 two-bedroom units, and three three-bedroom layouts. Of the total, 68 units will be designated as affordable.

The tower will be clad in a glass curtain wall system with a decorative metal panel grid and will be capped by a large rooftop deck featuring a small pool. The development carries an estimated $102 million price tag and must still receive full city approval before moving forward. If all goes according to plan, the team expects to break ground by the end of the year.

Build it but man I’m so tired of parking podiums.
Same, they make for the ugliest, anti-social buildings. It’s basically screaming, come have a vertical suburban life in the city, who cares about everyone else who has to stare at these monstrosities for decades to come. What a dud this podium is.
Chicago, where uninspired meets repetition. I don’t think this city is capable of producing anything more than forgettable filler at this point.
The blankwalls are shockingly awful. Again, they sever the connection between the pedestrian experience and occupants of the building foregoing that vital relationship which promotes a feeling of safety and intimacy in favor of a sterility inducing garage. How difficult is mandating active uses in liner units at a minimum. Here’s the legacies of Bertrand Goldberg and Mies in tandem.
So much noise…
OMG – this is an awful design. It’s a boring glass box thrown on top of an awful podium. There’s no design connection between the two. Come in bKL, you can do much better.
