Mixed-use development proposed at 1747 W. Grand

A mixed-use development has been proposed at 1747 W. Grand. Located midblock between N. Wood St and N. Paulina St, the project site is currently a vacant lot. 1735-47 Grand LLC is the developer behind the project.

Designed by Hanna Architects, the new mixed-use development will be a five-story building. On the ground floor, 2,750 square feet of retail space will front W. Grand Ave with the residential entry occupying the eastern side of the building’s street frontage. 22 parking spaces and 32 bike parking spaces will occupy the back half of the ground floor.

With a total of 32 units, the top four floors will be dedicated to residential units with eight per floor. All apartments will be two-bedroom configurations and feature private balconies. A shared rooftop deck will be included.

Rising 76 feet tall, the building's facade would be made up of dark ironspot brick, stacked brick and soldier course brick with black window frames. 

To allow for the development, the developer is seeking to rezone the property from M1-2 to B3-3. Approvals will be needed from the Committee on Zoning and City Council.
