This zoning change has been approved. Please subscribe to our weekly newsletter and/or attend meetings of our local neighborhood associations to hear about development proposals in your area.
The proposed development at 3257 N Halsted aims to establish a 6-floor, 51-room boutique hotel with a focus on serving the LGBTQ+ community. As part of the project, the developers are requesting a zoning change from C1-3 to C1-5. The hotel is planned to include a first-floor restaurant and a basement speakeasy. The development is located in a transit-served location along Halsted bus routes, and in proximity to the Belmont CTA station. The sixth floor will be dedicated to an indoor amenity space and indoor/outdoor pool area. The hotel will contain a loading zone along Aldine and 2 on-site parking spaces, and will contract with nearby parking lots/garages for an additional 20 spaces. The developers plan to preserve the Yoshi Katsumura Memorial Tree located on the site.
Our office is working with the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) to assess the feasibility of moving the Aldine bus stop from the south side of the street to the north side, in order to establish a loading zone on Halsted for this site.
The development has obtained the approval of the neighborhood association, Heart of Lake View Neighbors. For meeting dates of our Ward neighborhood associations, please see our calendar page. Please see the ‘Good Neighbor Agreement’ below outlining operational details regarding noise control measures/hours of operation, loading, traffic projections, staffing, community engagement, and other topics.
