Permits have been filed and are undergoing the review process for Dinkel’s Lofts, a mixed-use development at 3327 N. Lincoln. Planned for a V-shaped property, the site fronts both N. Lincoln Ave and N. Marshfield Ave. Developer PCR Group Chicago will retain the historic Dinkel’s building and sign as part of the project.
Designed by Jonathan Splitt Architects, the new building will stand six stories, rising almost 80 feet tall. As part of the design, the project will retain the facades of the famous Dinkel’s Bakery building and the three-story brick building to its south.
On the ground floor, the project’s residential lobby will be centered within the N. Lincoln Ave frontage. 2,725 square feet of retail space will be located on the north side of the lobby and 1,267 square feet of retail will sit south of the lobby. The building’s bike storage has been incorporated into the parking garage which will include 20 car parking spaces.
Rising above, the second floor sets back from N. Marshfield Ave, giving select units private roof terraces. The residential component of the project will split the 42 units into 4 studios, 10 one-beds, 21 two-beds, and 7 three-beds, all spread across the second through sixth floors. Residents will have access to a shared roof deck as well as a fitness amenity space on the second floor.
With permits in the works, the development is moving closer to beginning construction. Demolition permits are still needed to clear the site in preparation for the new development. A timeline for construction is currently unknown.
