The Chicago Department of Planning and Development (DPD) is seeking community feedback on three competing development proposals for vacant City land at Lake Street and Kedzie Avenue. The proposals were produced by development and design teams that responded to a DPD Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in August 2022. https://wewillchicago.com/east-garfield-park-community…
Evergreen/Imagine
The Evergreen/Imagine proposal would start by developing Site 2 with a seven-story, 72,160-square-foot, mixed-use building with 60 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, as well as two townhomes, that would be affordable for households earning up to 60% of the area’s median income. The building would include 1,700 square feet of ground-floor retail space for a local or start-up business. The building would also include a public plaza adjacent to the Lake Street CTA station entrance and 32 parking spaces.
Development details for Sites 1 and 3 would be determined at a later date.
