Since YIMBY’s last update on the project, construction has completed for a five-story mixed-use building at 2709 W Division Street in Humboldt Park. Planned by Brinshore Development and the Puerto Rican Cultural Center, the structure has yielded a total of 24 affordable units atop a theater and ground-level retail. The new structure is set to replace four low-rise buildings demolished in 2021.
The city has announced the reconsideration of two proposals for the LaSalle Reimagined initiative after altering their plans. Earlier this year three winners were announced for the program led by the Department of Planning and Development and the Department of Housing, aiming at tackling the record vacancy rates on the historical corridor while addressing the need for affordable housing. Joining 111 W Monroe Street, 135 S LaSalle Street, and 208 S LaSalle Street could be the following two revised proposals:
A construction permit has been granted for a new mixed-use development located at 3155 W Fifth Avenue in East Garfield Park. The three-story mixed-use building, developed by Preservation of Affordable Housing Inc, is the first phase of a two-part plan that will replace a formerly vacant lot.
With the structural work reaching its 399-foot peak, the 24-story mixed-use building at 360 N Green Street is now rapidly progressing with its facade installation. The new Fulton Market tower, developed by Sterling Bay, who owns an array of nearby properties at various stages of development, will offer a mix of offices, 5,400 square feet of retail, and tenant amenities across 500,000 square feet of floor space.
Zoning has been fully approved for the mixed-use development at 135 N Des Plaines Street in West Loop Gate. Located on the southeast corner with W Randolph Street just a block away from the highway, the upcoming proposal will replace a surface parking lot and its small footprint as the neighborhood continues to fill in long-term gaps. Developer Rogers Park Holdings LLC is working with local firm Axios Architects & Consultants on the small building which was announced earlier this year.
