Plans are advancing to rezone a long strip of Broadway across the far north side. Led by the Department of Planning and Development (DPD), the proposal will upzone Broadway from Montrose Avenue on the south end, to Devon Avenue to the north. Plans have been presented to the local community twice already with a third meeting expected on January 30th.
Initial details have been revealed for a potential residential development at 605 Davis Street in Evanston. Located on the intersection with Chicago Avenue, the building will become Evanston’s tallest and replace an existing vacant lot and bank ATM. Efforts for the project are being led by local developer Vermilion Development.
Potential plans have been revealed for a mixed-use development at roughly 2601 S Martin Luther King Drive in Bronzeville. Located on the corner with E 26th Street, the renderings and rough plans were revealed by local developer JC Griffin. Griffin, who has experience in smaller projects around the city, tapped Wight & Co. and Studio Barnes for the design.
Plans are advancing for the mixed-use development at 801 S Western Avenue in Tri-Taylor. Sitting on the corner with W Polk Street and set to replace a surface parking lot, the project was originally announced a year ago as the area around the Illinois Medical District continues to grow. Just down the street, 701 S Western scored a demo permit to make way for another new structure.
Demolition work is nearing completion ahead of the new Tiny Giants Early Learning Center at 2801 West Montrose Avenue in Horner Park. Located on the southwest corner of Montrose and California Avenues, the mixed-use childhood education and residential development is replacing three commercial buildings that were permitted for teardown in August and October last year.
