Full building permit issued at 455 W. Briar

A full building permit has been issued for a residential development at 455 W. Briar. Occupying a midblock site N. Broadway and N. Sheridan Rd, the development is being planned by local developer GVP Development.

With SGW Architecture & Design in charge of the architecture, the new building will rise 5 floors, while holding just 8 large units. The homes will occupy the upper four floors while the included 12 parking spaces will occupy the majority of the ground floor. The lobby and lower level of a duplex unit will round out the remaining space on the ground floor.

Rising 77 feet to the top of the building’s penthouse, the project’s street-facing elevation has been designed with an aesthetic that is inspired by the early 20th century buildings of the neighborhood. The front facade is articulated with brick, stone accents, and stone cornices. The remaining elevations of the buildings are simply clad in brick. 

With the foundation permit issued back in December, the issuance of the full building permit will allow for general contractor Maris Construction Corporation to begin construction and work through completion.
