The Chicago Plan Commission on March 20 approved a proposal from Bickerdike Redevelopment Corporation to construct 90 units of affordable housing at 5853 North Broadway in Edgewater. The approval allows rezoning of the property from B1-2 Neighborhood Shopping District to B2-5 Neighborhood Mixed-Use District. Bickerdike gains the approval three years after first presenting their plans for the project.
Details have been revealed for the upcoming redevelopment of the over mile-long space underneath the new tracks of the Red and Purple Line across the north side. The plans come just over a year since the CTA held its first neighborhood meeting requesting input from neighbors on what they’d like to see.
Work is underway on a five-story, 56-unit residential development at 1101 West Berwyn Avenue in the Edgewater neighborhood. A new construction permit, issued using the address of 5256 North Winthrop Avenue, came through on December 26, 2024, and developer and general contractor Panoptic Group wasted no time getting started.
Brick and block work is nearing completion on the exterior of the new residential development at 6350 North Glenwood Avenue in the Edgewater neighborhood. Located on the southwest corner of Glenwood and Devon Avenues, the four-story, 12-unit building from Variable Properties is replacing the former Uncommon Ground restaurant, which was demolished last summer.
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.
