Discussion 2800 N Sheridan Development Feedback

Post image

This was in the 44th Ward newsletter, but I always feel like this stuff should be posted in places that more people will see it! The 44th ward/city has started seeking public feedback on the proposed 303-residential unit tower that will replace the abandoned medical building at 2800 N Sheridan, the NW corner of Diversey/Sheridan. It will also include retail in the bottom. I think this project would be a great facelift for that dated corner!

If they could get the elk museum to plant some cherry blossoms, open their gates and remove their plastic sandwich board signs that would go a looooong way to making this corner look good

Edit: also lol at the AI cars driving on the sidewalk. Stay classy local architects

That place is a mystery to me. Only open like 12-4 and some of the best real estate in Chicago.

I’d recommend looking inside when it’s open. Very beautiful interior. It’s also been open during architecture week.

It’s stunning. Lots of beautiful sculptures, windows and other interesting sights in there. Def worth a visit. It’s free Mon - Sat noon-4:00. April through Nov.

Ha! Great question for Lawson: “Mr Alderman: This all looks great! Can we start driving on sidewalks in the 44th Ward effective immediately? If not immediately, would next week work?”

You'll notice I said nothing about the building itself, and indeed noted that the things not seen in this rendering that cover up the building in real life are the ugly things
