The Chicago Community Development Commission has approved TIF funds for the mixed-use development known as Hub 32 in East Garfield Park. Located at 132 North Kedzie Avenue, the project was part of a three-lot RFQ issued by the city a few years ago. The project also saw design updates late last year as it continues to move through the approval process.
Plans are moving forward for the residential conversion of the historic fireproof warehouse at 3240 West Lawrence Avenue in Albany Park. The five-story building is located just west of the intersection with North Sawyer Avenue, a few steps from the CTA Brown Line Kimball station. The project has now received approval from local Alderwoman Rodriguez.
The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) and the Department of Planning and Development (DPD) have launched a Request for Proposals (RFP) for their site at 12 East 95th Street. Located on the corner of South State Street along the Dan Ryan Expressway, the large lot sits across the street from the CTA Red Line’s 95th Street intermodal station and Abbott Park.
Plans are moving forward for the mixed-use development at 1338 West Lake Street in the West Loop. Sitting on the corner of West Lake Street and North Ada Street, the project was proposed over three years ago and is set to replace the former Leslie Hindman Auctioneers complex, which is currently in the process of being demolished. Efforts are being led by developer Cedar Street Companies.
Additional renderings and a rough timeline have been revealed for Optima Lumina at 739 Green Bay Road in Wilmette. Sitting on the corner with Washington Avenue, the project has been in the works for a few years and will replace a collection of commercial buildings next to Optima’s Verdana. Verdana was completed in 2023 and has seen increasing demand.
