The Chicago City Council has approved plans for the mixed-use development at 2137 West Irving Park Road in North Center. Just a few months ago, we last covered the project when the development team revealed a construction timeline culminating in 2027, with the approval being the last piece missing prior to a groundbreaking this summer.

Efforts for the project are being led by developer Barrett Homes, with local architecture firm 360 Design Studio working on the plans themselves. The four-story structure will replace a drive-thru bank and parking lot at the intersection with North Hamilton Avenue, just steps from multiple other projects that will deliver over 200 units once all are complete.

Capping out at 65 feet in height, the ground floor of the structure will include 4,000 square feet of divisible commercial space and the residential lobby along Irving Park. Behind this will be a 24-vehicle parking garage accessed from Hamilton. The floors above will contain 24 for-sale condominiums made up entirely of three-bedroom layouts.

All of the residences will have access to a shared rooftop along with a private balcony in each unit, with those along the streetfronts being inset into the structure. The structure itself will be clad in a cast stone and brick exterior. The team will now need to apply for permits prior to breaking ground this summer and delivering the units in 2027.

Watch out North Center, Lincoln Square is taking over your turf!
I thought the same! One could call this area St. Ben’s, *possibly* even Roscoe Village if North Center sounds too boring (which it does), but it is definitely not Lincoln Square.
There are a LOT of units going up in this area lately/soon (which is a welcome revival, it was pretty sleepy, in the multi-family category, for over a decade).
What’s the latest status of the project at the Lincoln / Damen / Irving park corner?
