A mixed-use development is in the works at 3007 W. Irving Park in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood. Planned by Lukaven Development, the proposed 5-story building would include 20 residential units, approximately 2,800 square feet of retail space, 15 parking spaces, and 20 bike parking spaces.

Why it matters

This project represents continued development and investment in the Irving Park area, which has seen a mix of new residential and commercial projects in recent years. The addition of affordable housing units is also notable, as the city aims to increase access to quality housing across neighborhoods.

The details

The development site is currently occupied by a one-story commercial structure and two two-story mixed-use buildings. The proposed 5-story building, designed by Thomas Architects, would have the residential entrance and two retail spaces on the ground floor, with an interior garage and additional parking accessed from the alley. The upper four floors would each contain five 2-bedroom apartment units with private balconies. To allow for the project, the developer is seeking to rezone the site from B3-1 to B3-3.

  • Approvals needed from the Committee on Zoning and City Council.
  • Developer hopes to begin construction in April 2026 and complete by April 2027.
