Potential partial funding has been announced for the affordable housing development at 1237 N California Avenue in West Town. Located on the intersection with W Crystal Street and across the street from Humboldt Park itself, the project will be replacing a now vacant lot. Efforts are being led by the Hispanic Housing Development Corporation with local-firm DesignBridge working on its design.
The Chicago Community Development Commission has approved initial financing for some of the first LaSalle Street Reimagined projects to move forward. While four projects were presented at yesterday’s meeting, we will be covering the first two today. Those include the proposals at 30 N LaSalle Street and 79 W Monroe Street all within The Loop.
Details have been revealed for a new mixed-use development at 5830 N Broadway in Edgewater. Located just north of the intersection with W Victoria Street, the new structure will replace an existing auto lot near the CTA Red Line Thorndale station. The property is being developed by a local resident of Edgewater Glen, who has worked on various nearby projects.
A revised site/ plan has been approved for the next portion of the Southbank development in the South Loop. Located at 680 S Wells Street, developer Lendlease applied for foundation permits late last year which we covered here. Since then not much has been announced for the property, however we now have some initial renderings of the potential structure designed by local firm FitzGerald Associates.
Revised details have been revealed for the mixed-use development at 925 W Belmont Avenue in Lake View. Originally revealed earlier this year just east of the CTA Belmont stop, the large proposal received plenty of feedback from the community leading to its new design. The project is being led by local developer Mavrek Development with Eckenhoff Saunders working on its design.
