Another proposal. This time for 1628-30 N Wells St, almost next door to Second City. This calls to tear down the current old 3 story building on site, as well as the small surface lot to the north of it, and replace it with a new 7 story building with 48 residential units and ground floor retail. Building height will be 76'6" and there will be no provided parking. This will completely abut the 32 story high rise next door and won't have alley space there. Architect is Kennedy Mann, who looks like they've done some interesting designs here and there. Developer is North Park Ventures.
Kind of sucks to lose that old building. More currently:

ALSO, the "Jefferson Park Cultural District" is materializing a little bit. There is a zoning application up to expand the Ed Paschke Art Center by building a new 55 foot tall addition at 5374 W Lawrence (behind the art center so to speak). It sounds like they want to put 2 more museums there - the Chicago Art Center and the National Veterans Art Museum which would relocated from 4041 N Milwaukee Ave. Plans also call for a new cafe inside of the 135 year old building on Long across from Ed Paschke Art Center.
