Sitting on the corner with West Aldine Avenue, we most recently covered the project <a href=\"https:\/\/chicagoyimby.com\/2026\/02\/new-details-and-renderings-revealed-for-backbeat-hotel-in-lake-view.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">back in February<\/a> when an updated design was made public. The proposal is still in the works and plans to replace a vacant two-story commercial building.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Backbeat-10-1024x703.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"703\" class=\"size-large wp-image-88119\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Backbeat Hotel rendering by JSA and SRB<\/p>\n<p>Local businessman and developer Allan O\u2019Brien of nearby Men\u2019s Room is behind the project and has been working with Jonathan Splitt Architects, along with Studio Rodriga Buelva, on the design. The current iteration calls for a more space-age aesthetic for the building, with rounded-corner extruded window frames inspired by the local music and dance scene.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Backbeat-02-1024x625.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"625\" class=\"size-large wp-image-91315\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Backbeat Hotel rendering by JSA and SRB<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Backbeat-03-1024x605.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"605\" class=\"size-large wp-image-91314\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Backbeat Hotel rendering by JSA and SRB<\/p>\n<p>The LGBTQ+-centered hotel will rise six stories tall once completed and hold a speakeasy lounge in the basement, a large restaurant space on the ground floor with a patio along Halsted, a small lobby, and a year-round rooftop pool with a retractable glass roof.

Work is set to commence soon on the property, with demolition scheduled for this summer by contractor InFocus Builders. The hotel is anticipated to open in 2028, per posters on the site.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/g_VSUf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Subscribe<\/a> to YIMBY\u2019s daily e-mail<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https%3A%2F%2Fchicagoyimby.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/google_preferred_source_badge.png\" width=\"245\" height=\"40\" alt=\"Make YIMBY preferred on Google\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/yimbygram\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Follow<\/a> YIMBYgram for real-time photo updates<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/YIMBYFB\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Like<\/a>\u00a0YIMBY on Facebook<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yimbytweets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Follow<\/a> YIMBY\u2019s Twitter for the latest in YIMBYnews<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chicagoyimby.com\/category\/3257-n-halsted-street\" rel=\"category tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">3257 N Halsted Street<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/chicagoyimby.com\/category\/building\/hotel\" rel=\"category tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hotel<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/chicagoyimby.com\/category\/lake-view\" rel=\"category tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lake View<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"display: inline;\">. <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Backbeat Hotel rendering by JSA and SRB By: Ian Achong 7:45 am on June 6, 2026 Additional renderings&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":688185,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[228,226,227,229,88],"class_list":["post-688184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=688184"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688184\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/688185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=688184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=688184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=688184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
