Lawsuit filed against the 100 unit affordable housing project at 2602-38 N. Emmett St in Logan Square

Block Club Chicago: Mark Fishman And Logan Square Landlords Sue To Block Affordable Housing Project Near Blue Line

Some of the quotes from the plaintiffs are basically NIMBY self-caricature:

Quote:

A group of Logan Square property owners including prolific Northwest Side landlord Mark Fishman want a judge to nullify the city’s support for a planned affordable housing development, writing in a lawsuit that replacing a surface parking lot with 100 subsidized apartments would cause them “irreparable injury.”

Quote:

Members of the group Neighbors for Responsible Development allege in the lawsuit that the City Council’s November vote to approve the proposal’s zoning application (O2019-2659) and its January vote (O2019-9419) to back the complex with $22.5 in multifamily housing bonds violated neighbors’ “constitutional rights to be free of arbitrary and irrational zoning and finance decisions.”

Quote:

“By eliminating the only public parking in the area and replacing it with 100 apartments…the Project will choke off those residents, businesses, employees and visitors as people will no longer have a place to park and traffic will be a nightmare.”

Quote:

The plaintiffs also asked a judge to strike down the planned development ordinance that aldermen and city planning officials endorsed last year in support of the proposal. They alleged that the measure was illegal because it “allows density, height and bulk that is unprecedented and inappropriate for the neighborhood, which causes hardship on Plaintiffs and nearby residents, and the public as a whole.”

I forgot about this project--123 S Peoria was issued it's foundation permit yesterday. Another lot bites the dust in the west loop! this one fills a gap on both sides of the block, too:

I was going to comment that there was construction fencing up already, but the street view images have that covered.

Hopefully the development does a better job of addressing Green St and doesn't treat as a glorified alley like Illume does.

Has anybody noticed that the “checks cashed” building a few blocks west of One Chicago on Chicago Ave has new retail “For Lease” signs?

I believe that building was going to be redeveloped into a micro-apartment building. Bummer if that plan was put on the back burner

Five-Story TOD Planned For Parking Lot Behind Uptown Theatre

Quote:

A developer purchased the parking lot last year for $3.4M and JAB Realty plans to build a five-story transit-oriented development (TOD) with a total of 54 residential units (majority of one bedrooms) and retail on the ground floor. According to the 47th ward office, the retail space will be mostly used as offices for JAB Realty. The lot is zoned B3-3, so it appears that JAB Realty plans to build slightly smaller than would be allowed by existing zoning. Because they are building within the current zoning, they will not need any approval from Ald. Martin.

Construction signage is already up announcing
I & M Construction as the general contractor of the development. Expect to hear the pitter-patter of construction soon as the project has navigated most of the city's building permit hoops.

Huge! That lot stands out like sore thumb and this is a prime location. Between this and the Winthrop apartment building on the other side of the Lawrence stop, good things happening up there. Hopefully the economy can hold on from bottoming out and we can push more of these through..

Because I have to be the guy: shoulda been more like 10 stories... Just sayin...

The $200 million Ogden Commons development broke ground today, according to Curbed.

As usual, they are cheap on providing images, but here's one from the RealDeal:

SCB did master planning work for this, but unsure how much of their original design carried over to the final (cannot find a site plan of the final design), or if they're involved:

Spyguy, are you able to dig up anything additional?

Great updates. Anyone know what's with the excavation on the western side/western half? of the new Rush building? Parking's all above ground for the project, no?
