Mixed-use development proposed at 3122 W. Belmont

A mixed-use development is being proposed at 3122 W. Belmont in Avondale. Planned by Lukaven Development, the project site is a surface parking lot at the intersection of W. Belmont Ave and N. Troy St. 

Designed by Thomas Architects, the four-story structure would include nine apartments with approximately 3,500 square feet of retail space. The building’s ground floor has been designed with the commercial space occupying most of the ground floor fronting W. Belmont Ave and N. Troy St divided into three spaces. The residential entrance is off N. Troy St behind the commercial spaces and adjacent to the five parking spaces accessed from the alley. Bike parking with nine spaces is also included.

The upper three floors will be home to the nine apartments planned for the building. The unit mix will include 3 two-beds and 6 three-beds with rents expected to run $2,600/month for the two-beds and $3,100/month for the three-beds.

To allow for the project to move forward, the developer needs a zoning change from C1-1 to B2-3. Approvals will be needed from Alderman Rossana Rodriguez, the Committee on Zoning, and City Council.
