Initial details have been revealed for the redevelopment of Olivet Baptist Church, located at 3101 S King Drive in Bronzeville. Situated at the corner of East 31st Street, the historic church was recently in the news for being listed on Preservation Chicago’s 2025 Most Endangered list. However, earlier this week, the church announced its own plans for the site as part of its 175th anniversary celebration.
The Chicago City Council has approved the mixed-use development at 350 N Morgan Street in Fulton Market District. Located at the corner of W Carroll Avenue, the project received approval from the Chicago Plan Commission last month and is now ready to proceed, pending funding and building permits from developer Sterling Bay.
Plans have been unveiled for a new residential development at 1606 S Wolcott Avenue in the Lower West Side. Located just north of the intersection with W 17th Street, near Harrison Park, the project will replace a large vacant lot currently used for storage. The site is also bordered to the north by the expansive Union Pacific rail yard.
New details have been revealed for the long-anticipated DuSable Park, located at 401 N DuSable Lake Shore Drive in Streeterville. Situated on a small peninsula east of the highway, the park has been in development for years, alongside the rapidly rising 400 N Lake Shore Drive project next door. Efforts are being led by the Chicago Park District and is partially funded by the 400 LSD development.
Initial details have been released for a new residential development at 6935 N Sheridan Road in Rogers Park. Located at the southeast corner of Sheridan and W Morse Avenue, the project will replace a one-story commercial building that formerly housed Leona’s Restaurant. The proposal was shared earlier this week by 49th Ward Alderwoman Maria Hadden.
