Residential development proposed at 1527 W. Edgewater

A residential development is being proposed at 1527 W. Edgewater. Announced via 48th Ward Alderwoman Manaa-Hoppenworth’s weekly newsletter to constituents, the project is being proposed by the International Christian Fellowship. The project site is a midblock property near the intersection of W. Edgewater Ave and N. Clark with an existing former church on the site to be demolished. 

Designed by MC & Associates, the new development would take shape as a three-story residential building. The building is planned to have four residential units with four parking spaces.

While not all floor plans have been shared, the first-floor plan shows that the ground floor and basement will have two duplex down units. The remaining two units will occupy the second and third floors. 

To allow for the scope of the project, the developer is seeking to rezone the site from RS-3 to RM-4.5. Approvals will be needed from the alderwoman, the Committee on Zoning, and City Council.
