City Council approves redesign for 4531 N. Western

The Chicago City Council has approved the redesign for a residential development at 4531 N. Western. Planned by Western Front LLC, the new construction will replace two existing three-story structures. 

Designed by Hanna Architects, the new building will rise 55 feet and hold exclusively condominiums. The exterior of the four-story structure will be made up of dark gray brick, black aluminum panels, and silver aluminum panels. Private balconies for the units will face the street.

The eight condo units will include two duplexes on the basement and ground floor, with two simplexes per floor on the upper three levels. Eight parking spaces will be located in an interior garage accessed from the alley.

With approval secured from the Chicago City Council, the site will retain its B2-3 designation with a new Type 1 zoning amendment implemented. A timeline for construction is currently unclear and no permits have been filed for the project.
