Further details have been revealed for the mixed-use development at 3955 N Kilpatrick Avenue in Old Irving Park as it heads to the Plan Commission this month. Situated on the corner with W Irving Park Road just south of the new Target within the Sears redevelopment. The plans are being presented by developer GW Properties who is working with local firm Pappageorge Haymes on the design.

Replacing a massive vacant site adjacent to the Metra tracks, the proposal is the largest to head to the Plan Commission in March as plans for Halsted Landing were deferred. Not much has changed in the design since we last covered the proposal earlier this year when it began its rezoning application, having been redesigned from its original retail and parking-lot heavy iteration.

The larger southern structure will rise five-stories and 62-feet in height and contain 346-residential units. Its ground floor consists of a massive one-story parking podium with active uses lining its full perimeter. This will contain a lobby, co-working space, gym, 26-duplexes with direct access from the road, a 346 bike parking room, and 205-vehicle parking spaces at its center.

Above the podium the E-shaped structure will contain the rest of the units made up of studios, one-, one plus den, and two-bedroom layouts ranging from roughly 570 to 1,397 square-feet. Of the 346-residences 52, or around 15-percent, will be considered affordable with a fee paid in lieu of the remaining five-percent. But all residents will have access to a dog-run, large pool, and outdoor deck capping the podium.

The northern end of the development will contain four one-story commercial buildings ranging from 7,202 to 8,555 square feet in size, divisible into multiple spaces with direct sidewalk access. These will be supported by 125 vehicle parking spaces, it is worth noting the overall development is proposing over 100 more parking spaces than required by zoning.
