We continue our streak of approvals from the Committee on Zoning from this past week\u2019s meeting with the mixed-use development at 1338 West Lake Street in the West Loop<\/a>. Sitting on the corner with North Ada Street, the boxy tower has been in development for a few years now and most recently received approval<\/a> from the Plan Commission after some redesigns.<\/p>\n

The existing 22,300-square-foot site is being developed by Cedar Street Companies, along with local architecture firm SCB working on its design. The 32-story project would be anchored by a six-story podium abutting the CTA tracks to the south. This would contain 7,800 square feet of commercial space along Lake, as well as a large lobby along Ada.<\/p>\n

The rest of the podium will hold a 191-space parking garage with a row of liner units along Ada in order to activate the street front. The podium would be capped by a large amenity deck serving the 321 residential units within the project. These would be made up of studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts, of which 65 will be considered affordable.<\/p>\n

Cresting the 364-foot-tall, glass-clad square structure will be another amenity floor and rooftop deck, featuring a small pool facing the city. The $165 million project is now one approval away from being able to apply for permits. Previously announced plans call for a Q4 2026 groundbreaking and Q3 2028 completion.<\/p>\n
