Proposed Plans for 3347-49 N. Southport Avenue

After years of being abandoned, there are finally proposed plans for a transit-oriented development with retail at 3347-3349 N. Southport Avenue.

3347-49 N. Southport – Current Building

From Ald. Tom Tunney’s Website:

“3347-49 North Southport Avenue
B3-2 to B3-5

The applicant wishes to rezone the property to construct a proposed 6-story mixed-use building with 1 ground floor commercial space (4,230 sq. ft.),
35 residential units and 36 bike parking stalls. There is no planned parking on-site; the applicant will seek to establish the subject property as a transit-served location to waive the required parking. *36 bike parking stalls will be provided on-site. The applicant will seek the necessary relief to establish the subject property as a transit-served location in order to waive 100% of the required on-site parking stalls.”

3150 N. Southport & 3200 N. Southport developments will forever change the southern area of the Southport Corridor

Spring 2019 construction is in full bloom, and two developments are starting to show their skin at the corners of Belmont and Southport. 3150 N. Southport is quickly becoming a 4-story luxury condominium complex with Byline Bank as a first-floor tenant. 3200 N. Southport is an apartment transit oriented development (TOD) with 5 floors and ground level retail (yet announced).  Both buildings, along with the new Tied House from Schubas will greatly enhance the southern area of Chicago’s Southport Corridor, which runs all the way north to Irving Park Road. What do you think of the changes?

Rise Sushi and Galleria Liquors to close in July, TOD construction to start late summer at 3401 N. Southport

As you may recall, this transit oriented development approved in 2015 with deliveries planned for Q1 2020. Planning had started back in 2014, and this new development will reside on what is now Galleria Liquors and Rise Sushi. At the time this development was first announced, Galleria Liquors is slated to return to this site, while Rise Sushi was not. Rise Sushi may relocate nearby (hopefully), and their sister restaurant, Shine on Webster in Lincoln Park will remain. You can read more about this development from Tom Tunney’s website, and see the listing here.

Taco Bell Cantina Coming Back to Wrigleyville (Yes, same location)

Update: Now Confirmed.

After years of preparing for Taco Bell at 1111 W. Addison to close and be demolished for a new development, Taco Bell Cantina – the one that serves booze, is now rumored to be returning to the ground level along with Chase Bank (both are in lease negotiations at this time). The original restaurant was torn down this week, and development will soon begin for a 4-story complex including a proposed climbing gym on the upper floors (Chase and Taco Bell and another retail space would occupy the ground level).  As we hear more we will be sure to let you know. Live Mas!
