Foundation permit issued for housing at 3301 W. 55th

A foundation permit has been issued for the first of two residential buildings planned at 3301 W. 55th. Planned by 3301 W 55th LLC, the project site is located at the southwest corner of W. 55th St and S. Spaulding Ave. The property is currently vacant.

Designed by von Weise Associates, the permit filing lists Kinexx Modular as the architect as the development plans to use prefabricated modular construction. The project will have two four-story residential units with no retail space. The two buildings will be separated by a gated courtyard space between them for residents. 11 parking spaces will be sited along the alley behind the buildings.

With a total of 32 units, each of the buildings will have 16 apartments with four units per floor. The unit mix will include 18 two-beds and 14 three-beds. 7 apartments will be set aside as affordable to meet ARO requirements.

With the foundation permit issued, general contractor Shoreline Management and Development Corp can install foundations in preparation to receive the modular elements that will make up the building itself. A timeline for construction has not been announced.
