Full building permit issued for 2934 W. Medill

A full building permit has been issued for a new residential building at 2934 W. Medill. Located on the site of Project Logan, the new development will replace a set of one-story commercial buildings well known as a popular destination for graffiti art. Originally proposed in December 2020, the project’s developer Wilmot Properties has faced some pushback from residents and revised the project as a result.

With a design by locally based Hanna Architects, the project will deliver 56 residential units in a five-story building. Clad with a masonry design, the building will offer exclusively two-bedroom apartments featuring balconies in every unit. As part of the revision process, the parking count has been reduced from 56 down to 46 spaces.  

To work with the alderman’s office and to appease the community, the developer has come to an agreement with Project Logan that they will own the east- and north-facing walls in perpetuity according to a previous Block Club Chicago article. The development will also set aside 20% of the units as affordable housing.

With the issuance of the full building permit, general contractor Wilmot Construction can begin work on the new building. A timeline for construction has not been announced.
