The Chicago City Council has approved a rezoning for 2405 W Grand Avenue in West Town. The property is mostly vacant, home to a single billboard and is bound by W Grand Avenue to the north and N Western Avenue to the east. The billboard will be removed to make way for the development that has been planned by RDM Companies.
The Committee on Zoning has approved the rezoning of an existing convent into a residential development on 1218 W Lexington Street in Little Italy. The three-story convent will go from a RT-4 residential two-flat, townhouse, and multi-unit district to B2-3 neighborhood mixed-district which will allow developer Honore Properties LLC to convert the existing space into apartments near Vernon Park. The building is bound by W Lexington Street to the south and a secondary building of the nearby Shrine of Our Lady of Pompeii, Chicago’s oldest continuing Italian American Church.
Zoning has been approved for a new mixed-use development at 3315-3319 S Morgan Street in Bridgeport. Comprised of three buildings, the development is located along S Morgan Street between W 32nd Place and W 33rd Place. There are multiple options for public transportation nearby. Both the 31 CTA bus route, accessed at the 31st and Morgan stop, as well as the 35 CTA bus route, accessed at the 35th and Morgan stop, can be reached within a five-minute walk. The 8 CTA bus route, accessed at the 33rd and Halsted stop, is a six-minute walk away.
