The thing that’s taking so long is Uptown’s retail. I imagine the income demographics aren’t so dissimilar from Logan Square, yet where are the restaurants? To keep this topic development related, Cedar’s street 5050 N Broadway has a construction permit for restaurant with outdoor terrace - I assume rooftop. That would be a first for Uptown. Anything north of Montrose doesn’t draw the big restaurant groups. Parson’s Chicken and Fish in Andersonville is the first major Chicago restaurant group to venture north of Montrose, maybe Irving Park. Not that big restaurant group means anything, but it’s just a sign of big investments.
