The Chicago Plan Commission has approved the latest plans for ‘The Free To BE Village’ at 4427 N Clark Street in Uptown. Originally pitched over a year ago, the project will rise on the corner with W Sunnyside Avenue and replace a vacant lot, parking lot, and one-story commercial building.
Details have been revealed for phase 1C of the Southbridge development at 3 E 23rd Street in the Near South Side. Located on the intersection with S State Street, the project is part of the greater Southbridge plan which has already received city approval. However, the developers submitted a courtesy presentation for today’s Plan Commission meeting.
Plans are proceeding for ‘The Free To BE Village’ at 4427 N Clark Street in Uptown. Led by the Black Ensemble Theater across the street, the new mixed-use project will replace a one-story commercial building, parking lot, and small vacant lot on the corner with W Sunnyside Avenue. Made up of two buildings, the development will rise in two phases as well.
Additional funding has been announced for the Invest South/West winning proposal at 3601 W Chicago Avenue in Humboldt Park. More commonly known as The Ave, the new building would sit on the corner with Central Park Avenue and replace a large vacant lot. The project was originally announced over two years ago by developers KMW Communities and POAH.
Revised plans have been revealed for the mixed-use expansion of the Black Ensemble Theater (BE) at 4427 N Clark Street in Uptown. Dubbed ‘The Free To BE Village’, the multi-structure development was originally revealed last year and will rise across the street from the current home of the Black Ensemble Theater.
