Demolition permits issued for 1138 W. Belmont

Demolition permits have been issued for three buildings, set to clear the way for the new mixed-use building planned at 1138 W. Belmont. Located at the northwestern corner of W. Belmont Ave and N. Clifton Ave, the demolition permits include three one-story buildings at 1134 W. Belmont, 1138 W. Belmont, and 1142 W. Belmont. SNS Realty Group is the developer behind the proposal.

Designed by Red Architects, the new construction will consist of a new five-story mixed-use structure. Rising 59 feet tall, it will hold 33 dwelling units with 2,800 square feet of ground floor commercial space fronting W Belmont Ave. 16 car parking spaces and 28 bike parking spaces will be included on the ground floor. The unit mix will consist of one- and two-bedroom options, with every unit having a balcony.

The developers received City Council approval to rezone the site from B3-2 to B3-3 back in June 2021. With demolition permits issued, contractor Bridges Excavating Inc can begin clearing the site. Permits for the new construction have been filed and are awaiting issuance.
