Looks like the conversion of the old Studebaker showroom at 2014-38 South Michigan Ave into 65 apartment units + ground floor retail was approved last month by the zoning committee and a building permit to the tune of $9M was issued on 4/16 for it. Looks like the vacant lot just south of it will be converted into 54 parking spaces for it (ugh).
Info I've gathered via the April agenda (in a few days)
* There is a proposed conversion of a 5 story building at 3141 N Sheffield, which is near the Belmont Red/Purple/Brown line stop and just south of the Vic. It says 80 apartments and ground floor retail. Patch and Curbed had articles about this one last May and apparently there will be a rooftop health club too. Yay TOD! Hope this one is approved!

They plan to maintain the historic brick building while adding nice features like decorative lighting to the outside to move away from the industrial feel.

“You basically have a fortress now—it’s dark all night, and it’s dark during the day,” Kaiser said. “We’re cutting out a lot of new windows to get bright light into the space. … We’re working within the existing structure to create this loft-style apartment feel.”

There will be six two-bedroom apartments—four of which will have rooftop terraces—combined with 50 one-bedroom units and 24 efficiency apartments. Rent is estimated to cost $800-$1000 for the studios, $1200-$1350 for the one-bedroom units and less than $2000 for the two-bedroom spaces.
