The Chicago Plan Commission has approved plans for the mixed-use development known as “The Phoenix” at 3611 North Halsted Street in Lake View East. Located just north of the intersection with West Addison Street, the low-rise would add to a string of new developments in the North Halsted area, including two recently proposed hotels.

Local developer David Gassman is working with Studio Dwell Architects on the 12-story building, which is set to replace a large vacant lot and vacate the adjacent alley. Plans were revealed last year and call for a site-wide ground-floor mini-podium that will primarily contain a 77-vehicle split-level parking garage, a lobby, and a 900-square-foot commercial space.

The commercial space will also have access to a small patio that will replace part of the vacated alley. The tower above will be inset by over 12 feet from the podium edge and feature inset balconies along the sides. Inside the structure will be 188 residential units, made up of 96 studios, 56 one-bedroom, and 36 two-bedroom layouts.

The structure would be capped by a small rooftop amenity floor and outdoor deck with skyline views. In total, the project is expected to cost roughly $65 million and will now move forward to City Council for approval. If all goes according to plan, the team hopes to break ground later this year and deliver units in 2027.
