Updated details have been revealed for the residential development at 6935 North Sheridan Road in Rogers Park. Located on the corner of West Morse Avenue, the project was initially revealed this past spring and has now undergone a major redesign. The development is being led by Chicago Equity Partners, with MC & Associates handling the design.

The revised plan has been approved by the local alderwoman and is set to replace the former Leona’s Restaurant that currently occupies the site. The previous proposal called for a six-story, brick-clad structure with 81 residential units; it would have been a single building with various setbacks and a ground-floor parking garage.

Now, the project will forgo the unified ground floor in favor of two more subdivided structures. As a result, it will rise five stories tall, with a more simplified, boxy form. One major change, prompted by neighbor feedback, is the addition of ground-floor retail space. There will still be 42 parking spaces provided for residents. Visit Chicago Yimby for full article.
