Zoning application submitted for Dinkel’s Lofts

Developers PCR Group Chicago have submitted a zoning application 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 and includes the historic Dinkel’s building and sign.

Designed by Jonathan Splitt Architects, the new building will stand six stories, rising almost 80 feet tall. While three of the existing structures will be demolished, the project will retain the famous Dinkel’s Bakery facade and sign, building the new structure behind it. 

On the ground floor, the project will front N. Lincoln Ave with 2,725 square feet of retail space, the residential lobby, and an interior bike room with 42 bike parking spaces. Along the N. Marshfield Ave frontage, there will be a curb cut to provide access to a 20-space parking garage. 

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. 

To allow for the development, the developer is seeking to rezone the property from B1-2 to B3-3. According to the developer’s website, the project could have a 2024 delivery.
