Further details have been revealed about the upcoming Foundry Park development within Lincoln Park. Just last month, we were the first to report when initial site plans were unveiled for the Lincoln Yards replacement. Developer JDL is working with local design firm HPA on the plans, which were presented at a community meeting that also covered 1704 North Milwaukee Avenue.

As announced, Foundry Park will be built in phases and centered around a proper extension of Southport Avenue down to Cortland Street, complete with protected bike lanes. This will serve as the project’s main commercial artery, featuring restaurants, local shops, and national chains, according to Block Club. This, along with other infrastructure, will be funded using TIF money.

To the east of Southport, the first phase of construction will take place within a large triangular lot bounded by North Kingsbury Street. This phase will begin with an 800-vehicle underground parking garage, capped by four towers ranging from 8 to 38 stories in height, the tallest in the project. These buildings will contain residential units, a 180-key hotel, and some office space. Check out Chicago YIMBY for full details
