Updated details and rendering have been revealed for the mixed-use development at 641 E 47th Street in Bronzeville. Located west of the intersection with S Langley Avenue, we first covered the proposal back in November of last year as it received City Council approval. Now it has returned with a slightly updated program and look, as it aims to replace a one-story commercial building owned and operated by the project’s developer. That would be Yasmin Curtis who runs the Two Fish Crab Shack restaurant that occupies it who selected local architects Future Firm for the design.
