City Council approves residential development at 2606 S. Peoria

The Chicago City Council has approved a residential development at 2606 S. Peoria. Planned by Henry Tam, the project site is a long, narrow vacant site on S. Peoria St bounded by the Stevenson Expressway to the north and a public alley to the south.

Designed by Vari Architects, the new construction building would stand five stories with 29 residential units and 26 parking spaces. On the ground floor, the residential lobby will face east to front onto S. Peoria St with the rest of the ground floor occupied by the 26 parking spaces. Vehicular access will be via the alley along the south side of the building.

The upper four floors will be home to 29 residential units. The apartments will have a mix of 2 one-beds, 17 two-beds, and 10 three-beds.

With City Council approval secured, the site will be rezoned from M1-2 to B2-3. The developer can now move forward with permitting and construction.
