The proposal replaces a vacant lot near the University of Chicago and future Obama Presidential Center, behind the recently completed 825 E 61st Street which had the same development team. Like the adjacent 825 61st Street, this project was also designed by Chicago-based firm Hanna Architects. The building is set to rise five-stories and roughly 60-feet in height and most likely be clad in brick.

The upper floors will hold 24-residential units most likely made up of studios, one-, and two-bedroom layouts. Of these five-will be considered affordable.

Tupper I don’t know how regularly you’ve followed this web site over the past few years but there’s been dozens and dozens and dozens of 3-flat developments launched on the side streets all over the neighborhood and it’s safe to assume those are all market rate.
