The Chicago Department of Planning and Development has selected the winning proposal for their West Garfield Park RFQ at 3811 W Madison Street. YIMBY originally covered the two finalists late last year, with the team now picking the winning proposal dubbed Westgate with some minor changes.
Initial funding has been approved for the commercial redevelopment of 3930 W Roosevelt Road in Lawndale. The redeveloped structure near the intersection with S Pulaski Road will serve as the new home for neighborhood organization BLK + BRWN Market. The project is being designed by local architecture firm Latent Design.
Plans have been revealed for a new mixed-use development at 600 S Homan Avenue in Homan Square. Sitting on the intersection with W Harrison Street and adjacent to the Eisenhower/I-290, the project will replace a long-time vacant lot. The Foundation for Homan Square is the developer behind the proposal with local-fim Latent Design working on its plans.
Two proposals have been revealed by the Department of Planning and Development for their West Garfield Park RFQ at 3811 W Madison Street. Located on the corner with S Hamlin Boulevard and directly across the street from Garfield Park itself, the project will replace a vacant grocery store and its parking lot that were recently acquired by the city. The DPD issued the Request For Qualifications in December 2022 and has now received the two following proposals for the 1.8-acre site:
Several key approvals have passed for 5200 W Chicago Avenue in Austin, where Heartland Housing Alliance and Oak Park Regional Housing Center have planned a major mixed-use redevelopment around the former Laramie State Bank. The Community Development Commission has approved the sale of 5206 W Chicago Avenue, while the Chicago Plan Commission has approved both the rezoning for the project and its Planned Development application. The scope of the plans have received both city and community support, having won the Austin Invest South/West RPF competition to imagine new projects for Chicago’s west and south sides.
