Replacing a former low-rise Ace Hardware, the building will be occupied by 13,000 square feet of retail on its ground floor. The largest retail unit will be a new venue for the Ace Hardware, while the remaining four retail units will range fall between 1,400 and 2,500 square feet.

The design by Sullivan Goulette & Wilson is primarily clad in red brick with secondary limestone accents. The massing also involves vertical bays with setbacks on the second floor to allow for the aforementioned terrace spaces.

The transit-oriented project will offer 14 spaces in the rear, while the CTA L Brown Line at Sheridan station is located just paces to the north. Also within a two-minute walking distance are bus stops for Routes X9, 80, and 151.

The project’s location will also place residents within close proximity to the Wrigleyville commercial hub, with an assortment of restaurants, bars, and retail all oriented around the iconic Wrigley Field.
