Construction has finally started on 1356 W. Wellington in what will become a new mixed-use retail and apartment development.

Rendering of 1356 W. Wellington from DNA Info Chicago

From Crain’s Chicago Business, a mixed-use development is coming to the former Herdegen-Brieske Funeral Home with about 10 apartments and full retail on the first level.

“A venture led by Chicago-based developer Stonestreet Partners bought a former funeral home in Lakeview that it plans to redevelop into retail space and apartments. Stonestreet paid $3.8 million for the Herdegen-Brieske Funeral Home property at the northeast corner of Lincoln, Southport and Wellington avenues, a 12,500-square-foot building on 0.33 acres, according to a statement from Mid-America Real Estate, the Oakbrook Terrace brokerage that sold the property. Stonestreet CEO David Trandel said he aims to keep the brick building, which dates back to 1918, and find a retail or restaurant space to lease its street-level space. Trandel, who is teaming up on the project with Barrington apartment developer Rick Cavenaugh, also plans to redevelop the property with about 10 apartments. Mid-America Principal Paul Bryant and Vice President Andrew Becker represented the seller, the Herdegen family.”

Faces of Small Business: Corridor Brewery & Provisions

Featuring Greg Shuff, Owner of Corridor Brewery & Provisions

Lakeview is a community of small businesses. This holiday season, we’re sitting down with the people behind the neighborhood’s favorite local shops, restaurants, and institutions to learn their stories as part of a series we’re calling the Faces of Small Business. Know of a Lakeview business you think we should spotlight? Email us at info@lakeviewchamber.com.

When did your business open?

I’m fortunate enough to have two businesses in Lakeview; Corridor Brewery & Provisions just opened on October 15, 2015, and DryHop Brewers opened back in the day…June 13, 2013.

What inspired you to start a small business?

I’m a really bad employee but we’ve all got bills to pay.

Why did you choose to establish your business in Lakeview?

I moved to Chicago back in February of 2011 (the day after the ’11 blizzard) and I landed in Lakeview. So I’ve always been partial to this neighborhood…and I still live just down the street. Beside my emotional connection, I’ve always believed that Lakeview has great demographics but a very low density of craft beer spots. Those two factors made opening a brewery in Lakeview feel like the only smart thing to do.

What is your favorite thing about operating your business in Lakeview?

The neighbors. We’re only interested in being a neighborhood craft brewery, nothing more and nothing less. So when the neighbors are cool and excited about the weird stuff we do, it makes my job a lot of fun.

What has been your greatest success as a small business owner in Lakeview?

We just opened our second Lakeview brewpub and it’s going great. DryHop Brewers in East Lakeview is our first born. DryHop was well enough received that we felt (read: blindly believed) West Lakeview would be a great location to open a new and different kind of brewpub, Corridor Brewery & Provisions.

You can find Corridor Brewery & Provisions at 3446 N Southport Ave, or online at www.corridorchicago.com.
