Plans have been revealed for a new residential development at 5636 North Ashland Avenue in Andersonville. Located mid-block between West Hollywood Avenue and West Olive Avenue, the proposal would replace three multi-unit structures along with their rear garages. The project was presented by the 40th Ward Alderman at a community meeting last week.

Efforts are being led by local developer Mackinaw Development LLC, which is also behind a similar proposal down the street at 5056 North Ashland Avenue in Ravenswood. Architecture firm MC & Associates is working on the design of the five-story structure, which will rise to just over 60 feet in height.

The building will hug the front of the lot, with eight parking spaces located along the rear alley. These will be supplemented by an additional four spaces within a small garage on the north half of the ground floor. A small lobby, several residential units, and a bike parking room will complete the level. The upper floors will contain the remaining 27 residences.

All units will be two-bedroom layouts, some with small balconies, ranging from 920 to 1,100 square feet. Five of the units will be designated as affordable. All residents will have access to a shared rooftop deck. The brick-clad structure will now require community approval before advancing to the city. No timeline has been announced.

Sorry to lose the brick flat and the off center entrance will drive my batty every time I drive past, but other than that THUMBS UP.
Interesting that 2-bedroom units have been a feature of so many projects reported here, and even some 3-bedroom units. Seems like a distinct shift from say a year ago or even six months ago.
