New zoning applications are trickling in
1. The Forum in Bronzeville has submitted an application to make it an entertainment concert venue again with banquet uses too. It also calls for 7 new ground floor retail spaces. Book stores, art gallery, music schools, etc. Remember that this place is on the National Register of Historic Places. Across from the 43rd St Green Line stop.
Great news. Also there is a new midrise planned for the vacant lot to the left here:

2. Garfield Green - Fifth and Kedzie in East Garfield Park. 2 new 4 story buildings (52.5 feet in height) with 81 total units, and 32 parking spaces. Phase 1 calls for the south building with Phase 2 calls for the north building. This is from POAH.

3. Western Ave continues to get mid rises. New 5 story (60 foot tall) building with 38 units, 32 interior parking spaces, and 2 ground floor commercial units proposed for 1317-35 N Western Ave. This will replace a vacant lot which used to be an auto sales lot. The developer is Raftery who has a development across the street, and also a few other parts of Western. Looks like it'll probably be the standard boxy design we've come to know in those parts.

4. Densification of Ogden continues. Application for a new 6 story (67 foot) 9 unit building on a vacant lot at 615 N Ogden. This is next to a recently built 6 story mixed use building, which is across the street from the now under construction 8 story 100+ unit building at Ogden & Erie. Before the new building was built on the site here, it was an industrial building.

5. 14 new townhomes for 3212 S Shields in Armour Square just north of US Cellular Field. To replace an industrial building and probably a vacant lot next to it. The applicant on the zoning application is actually the business (a plumbing business) which occupies that building. There are new-ish townhomes next to this and across from this already.
