Construction is underway for a new apartment building at 6350 North Glenwood Avenue in Edgewater. The development takes the place of the former Uncommon Ground restaurant at 1401 West Devon Avenue, which was demolished this summer after receiving a demo permit in April of this year. When we dropped by the site in August, we found demo work all but completed, and the crew on site told us construction would begin immediately thereafter. And true to their word, a lot of progress has already been made.

The new development will contain 12 residential units across four stories. The ground floor will include retail space and a private single-car garage, with six additional parking spaces included outside. Vari Architects did the design work for Variable Properties, who is acting as both the developer and the general contractor for the new property.

On-site construction permit, issued May 8, 2024.
When these 12 new units open to residents, they’ll have access to CTA Routes 36, 151, and 155 buses right outside their door, at Devon and Glenwood. The nearest elevated train is the Loyola Red Line platform about half a mile northeast at Sheridan Road and Loyola Avenue.

ChicagoYimby: Any chance you have the pull to get the developer to share a rendering? This project is a complete mystery to those of us who live in the vicinty. Pretty please?
I have asked but had no luck.
Thank you for trying. This is the third new building by this developer within a block of each other. Each one has been treated like a top secret government project.
Keep an eye on the construction site. Maybe they’ll hang a banner on the fence that includes a rendering.
