Plans have been revealed for a new residential development at 1820 North Winnebago Avenue in Bucktown. Located at the intersection with West Moffat Street, the wedge-shaped lot currently sits vacant just steps away from the 606 trail and the recently announced 1801 Winnebago, which also received new renderings.

Chicago-based developer KMW Communities is behind the project, with architecture firm Eckenhoff Saunders Architects leading the design. The building will rise five stories and reach approximately 55 feet in height, comparable to others in the vicinity. The structure will hug Winnebago Avenue but be inset on the other sides to create private and shared patios.

The ground floor will contain six parking spaces accessed from the alley, a shared patio at the street corner, a small lobby, and several units. The upper floors will include the remaining residences, bringing the total to 30 units: four studios, 22 one-bedroom units, and four two-bedroom layouts ranging from 553 to 1,036 square feet. Of the total, six units will be designated as affordable.

Select units will feature cantilevered balconies, and all residents will have access to a shared rooftop deck. The building will be clad in a mix of light brown brick with wood-finished panels accenting the entrance. The project will require rezoning as well as environmental remediation, as the site was previously home to a gas station. No timeline has been announced.
