City Council approves rezoning at 5340 N. Lincoln

The Chicago City Council has approved a rezoning for a mixed-use development at 5340 N. Lincoln. Planned by 5338 N. Lincoln LLC, the project site is located just north of the intersection of N. Lincoln Ave and W. Summerdale Ave. An existing vacant commercial building will be demolished to make way for the new construction. 

Rising 63 feet tall, the new construction will be a four-story structure clad in brick with punched window openings. The ground floor will have two commercial spaces facing the street with the back portion holding nine parking spaces accessed from the alley. The upper three floors will have a total of nine apartments, with three per floor. All of the units will have three bedrooms and private balconies.

With City Council approval, the site will be rezoned from B3-2 to B3-3 to allow for the scope of the development. The developer can now move forward with securing permits to begin construction. A timeline for the construction is currently unknown.
