Plans have been revealed for a potential residential development at 3233 North Sheffield Avenue in Lakeview. Located just south of the intersection with West School Street, the project would replace a trio of brick-clad industrial buildings that once housed Torstenson’s Glass Factory. The effort is being led by North Park Ventures and SNS Realty Group.

The U-shaped building will open toward the rear alley to allow for a ground-floor parking garage, similar in style to a courtyard building. The ground floor will not contain any commercial space, but it will feature a large club room, fitness room, bike parking area, residential units, and 25 parking spaces accessed from the alley.

In total, the five-story building will contain 92 residential units, comprised of 41 one-bedroom and 51 two-bedroom layouts, ranging from 700 to over 1,000 square feet. Of these, 14 units will be designated as affordable. Residents will have access to a small rooftop deck with views of the city and nearby Wrigley Field.

The building’s street-facing façade will be clad in light brown and gray brick, using insets and setbacks to break up the massing. The rear will feature a simpler metal panel exterior. The proposal was introduced by the local alderman earlier this week. To move forward, the project will also need approval from the city.
