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 vintage two-story frame residence in Edgewater is being torn down and replaced with a four-story, 12-unit development. Real estate records show the 1905-built home at 5428 North Winthrop Avenue sold early this year for $1.110 million.
Construction work is drawing to a close, as the residential development at 5753 North Broadway in Edgewater edges closer to its June opening. Now known as Edgelux, the five-story, 42-unit development being built by Moments Notice Services is getting attention to its interior details, with the first residents expected to begin moving into their units two months from now.
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.
