North Center residents will soon welcome an exciting new addition to the neighborhood as a mixed-use development along Irving Park Road has received city approval. The project, which will enhance the vibrant Irving Park corridor, includes 3,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space with residential units above, providing new housing options in a walkable, transit-accessible location.
