An inside look at Chicago real estate

Make Way for More Homes

By · May 8, 2007 · Chicago Building Developments

Plans for a 700-unit residential development in Brighton Park, a southwest Chicago neighborhood, is slated to break ground by the end of summer, in a part of the community originally zoned for industrial and commercial use.

What was once the site for Chicago Tube and Iron will soon become three-story townhouses and two- and three-bedroom condominiums. Making room for Phase I, two warehouses must be demolished before construction can begin on the 66-unit project.

Three- and four-bedroom townhomes will include attached two-car garages and around 200 square feet of private yard, starting at $300,000. Condos will have 1,200 to 1,385 square feet of living space with 285 square feet of ground-level garden space around each building. The two-bedroom condos will start in the low $200,000s.

Developers say Phase I units at the new Brighton Parkproject (located at Western and 49th Street) will go on sale toward the end of 2007.
