A new construction permit issued by the City of Chicago on July 10 allows Barrett Homes to erect a residential building at 2210 West Belmont Avenue in the Roscoe Village neighborhood. The $1.8 million permit was only in the data portal for three and a half weeks from its application start date of June 16.

Barrett Homes will perform their own general contracting duties, working with plans drawn up by 360 Design Studio. The four-story building will have a basement level and will contain six residential units, likely for-sale condos. The fourth floor will be topped by a roof deck with pergolas, with additional outdoor spaces provided by front and rear porches. A detached six-car garage entered from the alley at the rear of the property will also have a rooftop deck.

A pair of single-story buildings on the site will need to be demolished to clear space for the new homes. Belmont Medical Center at 2212 West Belmont, as well as the adjacent building to the east and its detached garage at 2210 West Belmont, each have had demo permits pending since the last week of June. Once those are issued, Brophy Excavation will handle the razing. No timelines for demotion and construction have been announced.

If 360 Design Studio has made this template, expect to see dozens of these replicated across the city anywhere they are allowed as of right.
Looks decent, not mind blowing but not overly boring or ugly (from what one can tell in a drawing). I wonder why they didn’t provide richer renderings for visualizing it better.
This firm is clearly using AutoCAD as its software. For the classics, they’ve never upgraded beyond the simple drafting. Maybe a bit of color can be added in post-processing, but these firms have successfully delivered without it.
Everything displayed as a pretty render is still a relatively new thing in this industry. Obviously, the big-money projects would have the watercolors and other media to convey the grandeur, but low-margin projects just need the elevations well labeled and an eye for the material palette.
Excellent! Great location.
