Residential tower proposed at 1333 N. Kingsbury

A zoning application has been filed for a residential tower at 1333 N. Kingsbury. Planned by ZSD Corp and Structured Development, the overall site stretches along N. Kingsbury St from W. Evergreen Ave to W. Scott St and includes a four-story office building and two parking lots. The new development will replace the center surface parking lot while retaining the office building and southern surface parking lot.

The proposed development would consist of a 23-story building with 272 residential units, including 55 affordable units to meet ARO requirements. Residents will have access to 238 parking spaces and 272 bike parking spaces.

On the ground floor, the building’s lobby will front N. Kingsbury St with leasing offices and bike storage accessed from the lobby. Loading and parking access will be from the alley for residents. 

Standing approximately 244 feet tall, the building will meet the ground with a 70-foot-tall podium that incorporates five stories of parking to accommodate planned 238 parking spaces. The residential units will occupy floors 7 through 23.

The podium will be clad in a combination of window wall system with metal panel and perforated metal screening system over the parking. The residential floors above will be clad in a window wall system with metal paneling and glass.

To allow for the scope of the project, the developers are seeking to rezone from M2-3 and C3-5 to a unified B2-5 with a Planned Development designation. Approvals will be needed from the Chicago Plan Commission, Committee on Zoning, and City Council.
