Alderman Martin approves mixed-use development at 2053 W. Irving Park

Alderman Matt Martin of the 47th Ward has announced his support for a mixed-use development planned at 2053 W. Irving Park. Located on a midblock site, the property is situated on the south side of the street between N. Hoyne Ave and N. Seeley Ave. With a single-family home currently occupying the site, developer Mangan Builders will demolish the existing structure to make way for the new development.

Designed by MC & Associates, the new development will be a four-story mixed-use building. On the ground floor, 750 square feet of retail space will front W. Irving Park Rd in addition to the residential lobby. Three studio loft units will occupy the floor plate behind the retail. Bike parking for nine bikes will be included inside and there will be four exterior car parking spaces.

With a total of nine units, the upper three floors will hold two three-bedroom units per floor. The project’s unit mix will include the three studio lofts expected to rent at $1,900/month and the six three-bed units expected to rent at $4,000/month. The larger units will each have their own private decks, and all residents will have access to a shared rooftop deck.

To allow for the scope of the redevelopment, the developer needs to rezone the site from B1-1 to B2-3. With approval from Alderman Martin, the project can now seek final approvals from the Committee on Zoning and City Council. If approved, construction would start in Spring 2026 and wrap up in Spring 2027.
