MAC Properties has received a construction permit to build a 26-story apartment tower in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood, Chicago Curbed has reported.
The South Side development will replace a former parking lot at the corner of 53rd St. and Cornell Ave. with 246 rental units. It will include roughly 10,000 sq. ft. of retail space, and a parking garage containing up to 173 spaces.
Designed by Chicago-based architect Solomon Cordwell Buenz, the tower at 1600 E. 53rd St. made its public debut in late 2016 and passed the Chicago Plan Commission last spring.
