Redevelopment plans have been approved for the former Inn at Lincoln Park, located at 601 W Diversey Parkway in Lincoln Park. Situated at the corner of Diversey Parkway and North Lehmann Court, the project will breathe new life into the aging structure, which has been the subject of various redevelopment proposals in recent years. This latest effort is being spearheaded by Validus Capital.

Designed by SPACE Architects + Planners, the project will convert the historic building—originally constructed in 1916 as a hotel—into a residential development. The transformation will begin with enlarging the ground-floor street-facing windows and adding a new central entrance for a planned retail space. Behind this area, a small residential lobby will be created, accessible via the building’s existing side entrance.

The upper floors will be converted into 40 residential units, including a mix of seven studios, 12 one-bedrooms, 19 two-bedrooms, and two three-bedroom apartments. Some of the units on the upper levels will be duplexes. There will be no on-site parking, as the adjacent lot belongs to the neighboring retail property.

Additional exterior work will include window replacements and façade improvements. The project will also feature a bike room with space for 40 bicycles. Zoning variances have already been approved by the city’s Zoning Board of Appeals, and construction permits have been filed.
