City Council approves mixed-use development at 4508 S. Cottage Grove

The Chicago City Council has approved a mixed-use development at 4508 S. Cottage Grove. Currently a vacant parcel, the long, narrow property is located just south of the intersection of E. 45th St and S. Cottage Grove Ave. The project is being planned by John Gruszka.

Designed by AP Architects LLC, the four-story mixed-use building will include seven residential units and retail space. The retail space will face the street on the ground floor, with a two-bedroom unit at the back of the ground floor. The upper three floors will host two two-bedroom units per floor and each apartment will have a private balcony.

Topping out at 50 feet tall, the building will be clad in brick and glass. Residents will have access to just one parking space at the back of the property in addition to seven bike parking spaces. 

With City Council approval secured, the site will be rezoned from B1-1 to B2-3. The developer can now move forward with permitting and construction.
