Chicago developer BM International Builders received permission on July 17 to erect a pair of multi-unit residential structures in the Edgewater and Ukrainian Village neighborhoods. Both projects were designed by Hanna Architects, and BM International will act as their own general contractor for each.

5428 North Winthrop Avenue

5428 North Winthrop Avenue will be a four-story plus basement, 12-unit building situated mid-block. A six-car garage with one ADA-compliant space will be built at the back of the lot on the alley, under the passing Red Line elevated tracks. The residences will have front and rear decks and balconies, and the fourth floor will be topped with a roof deck. The building replaces a 1905-built frame residence that received a demolition permit in April. The construction permit was applied for on April 1 of this year, and it came through with a reported cost of $3.580 million. It is not yet clear if these will be rental apartments or for-sale condos.

Residents of 5428 North Winthrop will be within a two-block walk of a pair of Red Line platforms, with the Bryn Mawr stop to the north and the Berwyn station to the south. Nearby bus stops include Route 36 one block west at Broadway, and Route 136, 147, and 151 stops two blocks west at Sheridan Road. Read more at Chicago Yimby
