Revised development proposed at 1257 N. Ashland

 A revised design has been proposed for the mixed-use development at 1257 N. Ashland. With developer Noah Properties replacing Grand Properties Acquisitions LLC, the project site is located just north of the intersection of N. Ashland Ave and N. Milwaukee Ave. The property includes three lots which are currently occupied by a one-story structure and two three-story brick structures, all set to be demolished.

With Jonathan Splitt Architects replacing Hanna Architects, the project will remain as a five-story mixed-use building with 24 apartments and retail space. On the ground floor, the residential entry and utility space will occupy the southern half of the street frontage, with 2,045 square feet of retail space occupying the northern half of the street frontage. The back portion of the ground floor will have 10 car parking spaces and 38 bike parking spaces.

On floors two through five, each floor will have six apartments, totaling 24 units which will all be two-bedroom layouts. Every unit will have a dedicated private balcony and all units will have access to a shared rooftop deck.

Topping out at 72 feet, the building’s facade will be clad in brick with black windows and metal paneling.

The previous version of the design was approved back in July 2023, so the site is already zoned for B2-3. This rezoning allows for an updated Type 1 zoning with required zoning reliefs included in the ordinance to streamline the process. Approvals will be needed from the Committee on Zoning and City Council.
