Demo permit issued to make way for proposed development at 3710 N. Ashland

A demolition permit has been issued to make way for a proposed residential development at 3710 N. Ashland. Planned by CorEtt Builders Corp, the project site is a midblock parcel north of W. Waveland Ave. The permit will allow for the clearing of an existing three-story residential building and rear garage.

Designed by MC & Associates LLC, the new construction would be a four-story building with 21 units in the building. The northern half of the ground floor will have the residential entry in addition to private offices and storage space. The southern half would have three apartments, including one studio, one one-bed, and one two-bed. There will be 7 parking spaces along the alley for residents and 21 bike parking spaces inside.

With a total of 21 rental units, the upper three floors will have six units per floor, with two studios, two one-beds, and two two-beds per floor. Studios will rent for $1,700/month, one-beds for $2,300/month, and two-beds for $3,200/month. Four of the units will be set aside as affordable.

Topping out at 45 feet tall, the building will be full clad in brick with punched window openings. Balconies for the rear units will hang off the rear facade overlooking the alley. The building will be topped with a shared rooftop deck and green roof.

To allow for the scope of the development, the developers are seeking to rezone the site from C1-3 to B2-5. Approvals are still needed from the Committee on Zoning and City Council. With the demolition permit issued, general contractor Sitepro Services Inc can clear the property to make way for the new project.
