The Chicago Committee on Zoning has approved the massive redevelopment of the United Center parking lots known as The 1901 Project in the Near West Side. The approval comes around a month after the Plan Commission also gave the mega development the green light. This now leaves City Council as the final approval needed.
Updated renderings and plans have been revealed for the revised proposal of Old Town Canvas at 1610 N LaSalle Drive in Old Town. Located on the corner with W North Avenue, we recently covered the project’s long road towards Alderman approval after a multi-year process of community feedback and vocal NIMBY’s guarding their views.
Details have been revealed for a new mixed-use development at 3122 W Belmont Avenue in Avondale. Located on the corner with the Kennedy Expressway and adjacent Metra tracks, the project will be replacing a small vacant lot with a wedged corner. Efforts for the project are being led by local developer Lukaven Development, who normally works on single-family homes.
Permits have been issued for the first building within the Legends South development at 4520 S State Street in Grand Boulevard. Located on the southwest corner with W 45th Street, the building will replace a large vacant lot that was once the home of the Robert Taylor Homes. This will be the first of multiple phases to fill in the overall site.
New plans have been revealed for the mixed-use development at 925 W Belmont Avenue in Lake View. Sitting just a few feet away from the CTA Red Line Belmont station, a much larger version of the project was initially revealed last year by Mavrek Development. Both the original and current design were led by local firm Eckenhoff Saunders.
