Full building permit issued for development at 227 W. Chicago

A full building permit has been issued for a mixed-use development at 227 W. Chicago. Planned by Noah Properties, the project site is located at the southeast corner of W. Chicago Ave and N. Franklin St. 

Designed by Jonathan Splitt Architects, the new development will stand 10 stories tall with 56 residential units, approximately 3,000 square feet of ground floor retail space, and 28 parking spaces. A 10th floor plan shows a full amenity floor that will provide residents with a fitness room, sauna, theater, workspace, and amenity room overlooking an outdoor roof deck with trellises and grills.

Set to rise 135 feet tall, the facade has been designed with brick volumes broken up with inset metal panel areas. Within the brick volumes, the facades have gridded meal paneling with black windows. Balconies are attached to the facade on the north, south, and west elevations.  

With the caisson permit already issued, the issuance of the full building permit will allow general contractor Remi Development LLC to begin building the new development and work through completion. A timeline for construction has not been announced.
