Demo permits issued to make way for development at 1235 N. Ashland

Demolition permits have been issued to make way for a mixed-use development at 1235 N. Ashland. Planned by developer Noah Properties, the project site is located just north of the intersection of N. Ashland Ave and N. Milwaukee Ave.

Designed by Jonathan Splitt Architects, the five-story mixed-use building will feature 16 apartments and retail space. On the ground floor, the residential entry and lobby will be on the southern end of the street frontage, with 1,460 square feet of retail space occupying the rest of the street frontage. The back portion of the ground floor will have 4 car parking spaces and 28 bike parking spaces.

On floors two through five, each floor will have four apartments, totaling 16 units which include eight one-beds and eight two-beds. Every unit will have a dedicated private balcony.

Set to rise approximately 62 feet high, the front facade will be clad in a dark brick with metal infill panels and black windows. 

With demolition permits issued, a one-story masonry building at 1235 N. Ashland and a two-story masonry building at 1257 N. Ashland will be demolished to clear the site in preparation for the new construction. Permits for the new building have been filed and are awaiting issuance.
