The Chicago City Council has approved the residential development at 1457 West Fillmore Street in the Near West Side. Located at the corner of South Laflin Street, the project was revealed this past August and is set to replace a parking lot in the growing neighborhood. The effort is being led by developer 4Corners LLC.

The ground floor will feature a corner fitness room, several residential units, and a 25-vehicle parking garage at the rear, accessed from Laflin Street, removing one existing curb cut.
