Initial plans have been revealed for a new affordable residential development at 3251 West Division Street in Humboldt Park<\/a>. Located at the intersection with North Spaulding Avenue, the project would replace a vacant lot just west of the neighborhood\u2019s namesake park. The details were presented this past week at a local community meeting.<\/p>\n

Led by the Hispanic Housing Development Corporation (HHDC), which is also behind the Pioneer Arcade redevelopment<\/a>, the new six-story proposal is being designed by Chicago-based WJW Architects. To address concerns about density, the team set back the upper floor enough that it will not be visible from the street, allowing the structure to appear shorter, according to Block Club<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Inside, the building\u2019s first floor will feature various amenity spaces, including a fitness room and a community room, along with parking for 16 cars. Above this will be 44 residential units, made up of 12 one-bedroom, 25 two-bedroom, and seven three-bedroom layouts. These units will all be made affordable for residents earning 50 to 60 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI).<\/p>\n

The building will feature a brick fa\u00e7ade along the two lower floors, with the upper levels clad in white panels with black accents and space for a mural. The project is set to cost $36 million and will be funded through various sources, including IHDA tax credits. The team will apply for zoning approvals soon, ahead of breaking ground in June 2027. Completion is expected in September 2028.<\/p>\n
