It took some time to get started, but now progress on a new condo building on West Briar Place in Lake View has risen to its top floor.

The site remained idle for awhile before coming back to life when site prep began in November 2024.
Updated plans have been revealed for the proposed mixed-use development at 2800 North Sheridan Road in Lake View.
