The Chicago Committee on Zoning has approved the mixed-use proposal at 2652 West Chicago Avenue in West Town. Sitting on the corner with North Washtenaw Avenue, the project was revealed in 2025 and updated this past February. This was due to feedback from neighbors on the density, parking, and rental nature of the property, which spilled over into our comments.
Partial funding has been initially approved by the Community Development Commission for the first phase of Morgan Park Commons. Located at 11400 South Halsted Street in Morgan Park, the multi-phase development will replace a large vacant lot that formerly held a Jewel Osco shopping plaza on the corner with West 115th Street.
The Chicago City Council has approved funding for the mixed-use development at 132 North Kedzie Avenue known as Hub 32. Sitting at the intersection with West Lake Street within East Garfield Park, the project has been in the works for some years now as part of a multi-lot RFQ issued by the city. The fully affordable project would bring much-needed housing to the area.
Plans for a new residential tower at 1415 North Dayton Street in Lincoln Park are advancing after receiving approval from the Committee on Zoning. Initially revealed earlier this year, the project is moving through the approval process rather quickly, having also received Plan Commission approval in late March.
We continue our streak of approvals from the Committee on Zoning from this past week’s meeting with the mixed-use development at 1338 West Lake Street in the West Loop. Sitting on the corner with North Ada Street, the boxy tower has been in development for a few years now and most recently received approval from the Plan Commission after some redesigns.
