The Chicago City Council has approved a mixed-use development at 1215 West Belmont Avenue in Lakeview. Located near the intersection with North Racine Avenue, the project was originally announced this summer as a replacement for the now-vacant Stage 773 theater that occupies the site. The effort is being led by JAB Real Estate.

Designed by local firm Moth Architects, the five-story building will rise around 60 feet in height and be anchored by 2,238 square feet of retail space, a fitness room, and a 24-vehicle parking garage accessed through two rear doors along the alleyway. Additionally, residents will have access to 40 bicycle parking spaces.

With the ground floor occupying most of the site, the residential portion will be slightly set back at the rear, creating large terraces for the second floor. Floors two through five will contain 40 residential units, all of which will feature two-bedroom layouts. Of those, eight will be designated as affordable units.

All units will include private balconies. The building itself will be clad in dark brick, accented with cast stone on the ground floor, coping, and window openings. With all necessary approvals in hand, the development team can now move forward with groundbreaking once financing and building permits are secured.
