The remaining floors will contain 20 residential units made up entirely of two-bedroom layouts averaging around 1,100 square feet\u2014a growing trend in neighborhood-scale projects.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/3007-West-Irving-Park-Road-01-1024x363.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"363\" class=\"size-large wp-image-88842\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elevation of 3007 W Irving Park Rd by Thomas Architects<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/3007-West-Irving-Park-Road-03-1024x617.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"617\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-88840\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>All units will have access to a small private balcony as well as a large rooftop deck and seating area.
