A demolition permit was issued August 1 for the former Fast Track restaurant at 629 West Lake Street in the West Loop. That should clear the way to realize the pending permit for an eight-story, 49-unit apartment building designed by Axios Architects.
Zoning variances have been approved for the mixed-use development at 629 W Lake Street in West Loop Gate. Located on the southeast corner with N Des Plaines Street in the interstitial neighborhood which is seeing a growth in demand for new residential options, it will replace the beloved casual Fast Track restaurant and its parking lot. The development team at the locally-operated Rogers Park Holdings LLC have partnered with Axios Architects and Consultants on its design.
This past week, plans were disclosed for a new eight-story mixed-use building proposed for 629 W Lake Street in West Loop Gate. The project will be located at the corner of Lake & Desplaines, and will replace the Fast Track restaurant that currently occupies the site. Based on information provided by the office of Alderman Reilly, the developer behind the proposal has not yet been mentioned.
