Chicago Avenue, this latest permit signals that Near North's momentum as one of Chicago's most dynamic, in-demand communities is only accelerating. With 81 affordable units baked in from the start, this development promises to bring new neighbors from all walks of life to the block. Are you excited to see this tower rise?
