Plans have been revealed for a residential development at 1728 North Clybourn Avenue in Lincoln Park. Located roughly two blocks north of the North Avenue shopping corridor, the proposal would replace a large vacant lot in an area that is quickly densifying. The project is being led by Contemporary Concepts Inc.

The majority of the 200-foot-long site will be occupied by the building, which is being designed by Eckenhoff Saunders. To break up the long, linear massing, the team is splitting the structure into three sections with two columns of inset balconies. Each section will feature a different brick color as well as distinct window styles.

Rising five stories, the building will top out at 60 feet and will not include any ground-floor retail. Instead, the street frontage will be activated by the lobby, a coworking amenity space, and terraces serving the lower-level units. This floor will also include a fitness room and 18 parking spaces along the rear alley.

In total, the building will contain 59 residential units consisting of 10 studios, three one-bedrooms, 37 two-bedrooms, and five three-bedrooms, ranging from 460 to just over 1,500 square feet in size. Of these, 12 will be designated as affordable. Residents will also share a rooftop lounge and outdoor terrace.
The project will now need to go through the standard approval process before moving forward, with the development team hoping to break ground next spring and deliver the units in spring 2027.
