The full construction permit for the residential building at 2240 North Milwaukee Avenue in Logan Square was issued by the city on May 13. As was the caisson permit that came through in April, it is assigned to the address of 2705 West Prindiville Street. It waited in the data portal for 104 days from its application start date of January 29, and it includes a reported cost of $11.5 million. Kiferbaum Development Group is the developer and the general contractor on the build.
They’re building a seven-story, 50-unit project designed by Jonathan Splitt Architects. Those 50 units include five efficiency apartments to go along with 45 standard units, and all will be located on floors two through six, with a small amenity level accounting for the seventh story. The ground floor will include an 11-car garage, three retail spaces, bicycle storage, and the residential lobby.

The property is to include an outdoor deck atop the roof, plus private terraces for second-floor units on top of the garage roof. Those terraces and the garage entrance will be at the rear of the building, along the passing Blue Line elevated rail. No completion date has been announced, but construction can be expected to take at least 15 to 18 months from the time the first caisson was drilled.

This area is so crowded as it is. But did I miss anything about affordable units?
20% of the units will be designated as affordable.
I have been in this area at just about every time of the day, and outside of about 45 mins at both rush hours, the place is closer to deserted than crowded. Not sure what you mean.
Crowded, bro the density is like 20k plus a square mile there do you think 50 units does anything?
It’s perfect. They even included 3 commercial spaces. 10/10 no notes.
Love this! If anything they could have gone 3x as tall. Now all they need to do is get rid of those last commercial lots and dollar tree. Area desperately needs more density.
