The full construction permit has come through for the planned condominium development at 6150 North Sheridan Road in Edgewater. Addressed as 6152 North Sheridan, the permit was issued on May 4 with a reported cost of $5 million. It had been pending in the Chicago Data Portal since its February 11 application state date, a duration of 82 days.

Developer 6150 N. Sheridan LLC and general contractor GlobalGC Inc are both assigned to the same Chicago Avenue address in the construction permit. They’ll build a five-story plus basement, 40-unit structure rising 60 feet in height designed by Hanna Architects. The 40 condominiums are expected to be a mix of two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and four-bedroom layouts. One parking space per unit will be included, with some located in the basement-level garage and the remainder on an outdoor lot at the rear of the building.

The construction site has long been a surface parking lot, and lies immediately north of the recently demolished Kindred Hospital building. The project went before the Chicago Plan Commission in November of last year for approval of its Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection Ordinance application, but did not require a zoning change. The Plan Commission gave their blessing, as has 48th Ward alderwoman Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth.
The new condo development shares the alley with a pair of residential projects another developer received permission to build earlier this year. 6143 North Kenmore is a similar 40-unit building permitted in February, and a four-story, 18-unit building was permitted in April for 6125 North Kenmore. Hanna Architects designed both of those projects, which 4 Star Builders is developing.

At the time of its approval, 6150 N Sheridan LLC hoped to break ground on their $15 million project in the first quarter of this year, with completion slated for Q2 2027. As the construction permit has just come through in the middle of the second quarter of this year, expect residents to begin occupying units in late-summer or early-fall next year if construction begins immediately.

Im going to be very brave here and say that 40 units is not enough for this amount of land in this part of the city.
Indeed, I’m surprised that there’s not yet a software based tool that exists that can calculate the number of units needed to pay for the maintenance and replacement of infrastructure out in front of the parcel and a portion of the things nearby shared in common. This would potentially help cities increase their density quite like something we haven’t seen before.
Another tally in the “Well, I guess it’s better than a parking lot” column
