The City of Chicago, along with the Department of Housing, has announced a major investment in the preservation and construction of affordable housing across the city. Revealed earlier this week, the funding will go to 15 different projects, which also include market-rate housing. This comes as the mayor has ousted the head of the CHA board due to a dispute over its CEO.
Zoning has been approved for the upcoming community hub at 2653 South Kildare Avenue in Little Village. Sitting on the corner with West 27th Avenue, we most recently covered the project last summer when it was first announced as a replacement for a large vacant lot on the neighborhood’s west end. Once completed, it will be called the Erie House La Villita Floreciendo Center.
Additional funding has been secured for the upcoming mixed-use development at 310 West Huron Street in River North. With work already underway on the nearly block-long structure at the corner of North Franklin Street, developers ZSD and Third Coast Real Estate have secured a $44 million loan to fund the remainder of construction.
Plans for a new mixed-use development at 1040 West Belmont Avenue in Lake View are moving forward, as a zoning application has been submitted. Located near the intersection with North Kenmore Avenue, the proposal would replace a one-story commercial building currently occupied by Giordano’s Pizza near the CTA Belmont station.
Plans for a new residential development at 1805 North Campbell Avenue in Logan Square have been approved by the Chicago City Council. The project is set to rise along the 606 trail at the corner of West Bloomingdale Avenue, replacing a single-family home and its expansive yard. Initial details were revealed in 2024 and updated last summer.
