City Council approves rezoning at 500 W. Pershing

The Chicago City Council has approved the rezoning of 500 W. Pershing. Located at the northwest corner of S. Normal Ave and W. Pershing Rd, the site is currently a series of vacant lots. William Barbaro is leading the development.

Designed by 360 Design Studio, the project is building two townhome buildings that will each have 6 three-story townhomes. Each townhome will have two parking spaces and private balconies.

With two townhome buildings on the site, individual homes will be oriented east/west and face outwards from the center of the site. The middle of the site will have a private drive running parallel to the buildings to connect to private garages, accessed from the alley. Each townhome will have a balcony that hangs over the private drive.

With City Council approval, the site will now be rezoned from M1-2 to RT-4 to allow for the scope of the development. A timeline for construction is currently unknown.
