New signs are up and the store at 3434 N. Southport Avenue in Chicago looks great!
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.

Lou & Grey opened in April in Chicago’s Southport Corridor, and here are photos of the store from their Facebook page. The store is located at 3442 N. Southport Avenue.
As we reported a few weeks ago, SoulCycle will be opening above J. Crew on Southport at 3423 N. Southport. Confirmed by Crain’s Chicago Business:
“SoulCycle said it signed a lease to open a 4,000-square-foot spinning studio on Southport Avenue by early 2016. The New York-based company will open its third Chicago studio at 3423 N. Southport Ave., above a J. Crew clothing store in a two-story building being developed by Chicago-based L3 Capital.”
Look for SoulCycle Southport to open in the first quarter of 2016. What are your thoughts, neighbors?

Per Alderman Ameya Pawar’s Facebook post, Bitter Pops, a specialty beer and tap room is coming to 3345 N. Lincoln Avenue which is part of L3’s Lincoln Avenue Development. A community meeting will be scheduled soon, but it’s great to see retail activity happening in West Lakeview.
