The Chicago City Council has approved an affordable housing development at 5853 N Broadway in Edgewater. Located near the intersection with W Thorndale Avenue, the project was first unveiled nearly three years ago and has undergone multiple rounds of community input. It received Plan Commission approval just a few weeks ago.
A new RFP has been issued for a large parcel of land at roughly 1450 N Larrabee Street within Cabrini Green. Located on the intersection with N Clybourn Avenue, the wedge-shape lot had a previous proposal reviewed by the city back in 2023. However, the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) is back to the drawing board and seeking proposals for the property by this May.
Plans for the next phase of the affordable project dubbed Harvest Homes are moving forward as a zoning application has been applied for. Harvest Homes II Apartments is located at 3456 W 5th Avenue on the corner with S Homan Avenue within East Garfield Park, sitting just east of the project’s multi-building first phase completed in 2017.
A construction permit has been issued for the first phase of The Ave, an INVEST South/West development located at 3601 West Chicago Avenue in Humboldt Park. The permit, using the address 3607 West Chicago Avenue, came through on March 13, with an application date of September 4, 2024. It names Leopardo Construction as the general contractor, and an estimated cost of $20 million; the entire project is expected to cost about $45 million.
TIF funding has been fully approved for the upcoming affordable housing project at 547 W Oak Street in the Near North Side. Earlier this month we covered when the Committee on Finance approved the money before sending it to City Council, who has now given its stamp of approval. The project will replace a vacant lot within the greater Cabrini Green site area.
