Earlier this week, Alderman Reilly and the River North Residents Association (RNRA) co-hosted a public presentation for a proposed development at 353 West Grand Avenue.

Representatives of Onni Grand Limited Partnership (the “Applicant”) presented their plans to construct a 38-story residential tower and 6-story podium. The building would contain approximately 356 dwelling units, and provide 284 accessory parking spaces. Additionally, a pocket park located at the corner of Grand Avenue and Orleans Street would be built to encourage community gathering and provide a green space within the neighborhood. The site currently contains vacant buildings and an unused surface parking lot.

If you were unable to attend the Monday, June 18 meeting, please click on the following links to download the slideshow presentation, park rendering, and traffic study.

This is the beginning of a robust community process. Alderman Reilly uses your feedback to negotiate across the table from the Development Team.

This transparent development review process has yielded significant improvements to projects proposed in the 42nd Ward, and has resulted in substantial community benefits implemented at private expense.

Your feedback is crucial in Alderman Reilly’s negotiations with the development team. If you were unable to attend the community meeting, and would like an opportunity to share your thoughts on this project, Alderman Reilly wants to hear from you.  Contact him at development@ward42chicago.com.

Power Construction is creating a new barrier for pedestrians along Clark Street (near Chicago Avenue) during this phase of construction at 810 N Clark Street.

The next phase of construction will see traffic lane reduction (to a single lane) which will accommodate another re-routed and protected pedestrian walkway. The plans have been approved by CDOT in order to facilitate overall safety during the length of the project. The project is expected to be completed within 15 months.

If you have any additional questions please email me at Ward02@cityofchicago.org, or call the 2nd Ward Service Office at (312) 643-2299.
