Details have been revealed for an upcoming mixed-use development at 3265 West Armitage Avenue in Logan Square. Located mid-block between North Sawyer Avenue and North Spaulding Avenue, the project has been in the works since last fall, according to the local alderwoman’s website. The development is set to replace a large parking lot and an adjacent building.

Led by Chicago-based DG Advisors Group, the project would rise just steps away from the local bar Best Intentions, recently named one of the best bars in the nation. Design efforts are being led by local architecture firm 360 Design Studio, with the building set to rise five stories and reach approximately 60 feet in height.
The project calls for 1,800 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor, which will be rented at a reduced rate for local businesses. This space will be accompanied by a small lobby and a 16-vehicle parking garage at the rear. The upper levels will contain 31 residential units, consisting of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts per Block Club.

Of the total units, six would be designated as affordable. While select units will feature small private balconies, all residents will have access to a shared rooftop deck with north-facing views. Market-rate rents are expected to range from $1,500 to $3,500 per month. The project will now need to gain local approval before advancing to the city; no timeline has been announced.

Can they actually make it look as good as the rendering? Great job
Hope so. I really like how the corbelling matches the neighboring building.
If you look at the streetveiw pic, the neighboring building doesn’t exist irl.
Nvm, that building next to the parking will be demoed, so the rendering shows the next building after that with brick cornices.
I wish more infill developments looked like this, tastefully emulating the classic brick design of a century or more ago. Why aren’t more developers doing this?
Nice detailing and massing. Build it!
I heard that 400 lakeshore and 370 North Morgan have Topped-out so please mention them soon.
Senceirly, Christian
It seems to be an AI generated rendering. Hopefully just an upscale to what they mocked up to present a better image. Otherwise, I wouldn’t hold my breath for it to look that good
You can’t just change the way the building looks after getting it approved. I do not see any signs that this rendering is AI-generated. It just appears to be low-resolution.
this is amazing. I love the warehouse aesthetic feeling. I hope it comes out looking like the rendering. so well done. love this.
We need to universally change the zoning in the city to allow 4-5 story buildings with retail in dense areas such as Logan Square. To require 20% affordable, need alderman approval, etc. when we can just build these as of right leads to a lot of corruption, time wasted and a big housing shortage. Look at the rents and home prices in Chicago the last few years. Very little new development because of the 20% affordability requirement and high, unpredictable taxes. I’m not sure the bill Pritzker is trying to pass exactly, but I hope that would help with some of this.
