Summer 2015 on Chicago’s Southport Corridor

The rain has finally stopped long enough for us to get our annual photos of the Southport Corridor during summertime. Some of these view will look quite different next summer with the addition of SoulCycle and J. Crew coming, along with the proposed Southport TOD.

Southport’s TOD could begin development late this year (update – looks like later in 2018 now)

We reached out to Alderman Tom Tunney on the status of the proposed TOD at 3401 N. Southport Avenue as far as when development would take place. Per the Alderman, the developers still need to go through the planning commission and zoning committee, and then once approved, construction could start later in 2015 or early 2016 (update, we are hearing now 2017). Galleria Liquors would be coming back as a tenant, but it is unlikely that Rise Sushi will be (they are looking for a new location around Southport however).

From May’s WLVN meeting, the group voted yes (27-18) in recommending the Southport TOD mixed-use building at 3401-09 N. Southport. See the floor plans below, and more detailed designs can be found at this link.

Meeting on March 9, 2015 for the proposed transit-oriented redevelopment where Rise and Galleria Liquors are located (meeting now postponed)

Updated March 5, 2015: The meeting has been postponed for a future date.

A meeting has been scheduled for the proposed mixed-use transit oriented development for 3401-09 N. Southport Avenue on Monday, March 9 at 7:00 PM at Mystic Celt (3443 N. Southport Avenue). This is a very similar design concept that is coming to 3400 N. Lincoln Avenue.

The following is now known:

- A 4-story building with retail on the first floor
- 33 apartments with starting rent at $1,500
- 6 parking spaces with one being a handicapped spot

The project will be presented by the developer to all that attend the West Lakeview Neighbors meeting. See the renderings below for the new development.

Public Notice for a Zoning Change Issued for the Demolition of Rise Sushi and Galleria Liquors

From our blog post earlier, developers are looking to demolish the current buildings that house Galleria Liquors and Rise Sushi. A public notice for a zoning change went up on January 26, 2015 for a 4-story mixed-use transit-oriented development. These are quite the rave lately around Chicago according to Curbed Chicago.

Here is a link to the PDF development renderings on Tom Tunney’s Website.

Southport’s Rise Sushi and Galleria Liquors could be replaced by a TOD

From Tom Tunney’s office, there has been a proposal for the Rise Sushi and Galleria Liquors location to build a new mixed-used Transit Oriented Development (TOD). The proposal would include 30 apartments with ground-level retail next to the Southport “L” line.

Per the developer, “It is important to note that NONE of our residents will have the ability to secure a 383 Parking permit. Therefore, since this is a transit-oriented development, residents except for the 7 units that will have access to parking spaces will not own a car. This development will not cause residents to park within the neighborhood since they will not be able to secure the required parking permit.”

The Lakeview Chamber of Commerce agrees with building this development as it would help local businesses and the local economy (more people in a dense urban area = more local dollars being spent). You can read more about the benefits of TODs here.

A meeting with the developers will take place at Mystic Celt during the West Lakeview Neighbors meeting on Monday, May 11, 2015 at 7pm. Detailed information can be found here.
