The Chicago City Council has approved an affordable housing development at 5853 N Broadway in Edgewater. Located near the intersection with W Thorndale Avenue, the project was first unveiled nearly three years ago and has undergone multiple rounds of community input. It received Plan Commission approval just a few weeks ago.
The Chicago Plan Commission on March 20 approved a proposal from Bickerdike Redevelopment Corporation to construct 90 units of affordable housing at 5853 North Broadway in Edgewater. The approval allows rezoning of the property from B1-2 Neighborhood Shopping District to B2-5 Neighborhood Mixed-Use District. Bickerdike gains the approval three years after first presenting their plans for the project.
Additional funding has been announced for the next phase of the Lathrop Homes redevelopment around 2712 N Hoyne Avenue. The money comes in the form of an enlarged TIF pool recently approved by the city, increasing the project’s TIF funds up to $60 million. This next phase will focus on the southern end of the former housing project.
Additional funding has been approved by the Chicago Community Development Commission for the next phase of the Lathrop Homes redevelopment around 2712 N Hoyne Avenue. Earlier this year we covered the project when it gained funding approval from the CHA, now an additional $25 million in TIF money is on its way towards full city approval.
An initial rendering and funding have been revealed for the mixed-use development at 2525 N Kedzie Boulevard in Logan Square. Located just south of the neighborhood’s central traffic circle, the project would replace an existing property on the intersection with N Linden Place. The proposal is being led by Bickerdike Redevelopment who is also working on 5853 N Broadway.
