“A mixed-use development is being planned at 3240 W. Lawrence in Albany Park. Planned by APZ Holdings LLC, the project site is located midblock between N. Sawyer Ave and N. Spaulding Ave.
“The building was constructed in approximately 1916 as a fireproof storage warehouse and will be kept and converted for the development.
“Designed by Red Architects, the adaptive reuse will convert the five-story structure into a mixed-use building with approximately 3,000 square feet of retail space and 26 residential units. The height and footprint of the existing building will remain without change.
“To allow for the scope of the project, the developer is seeking to rezone the site from B1-2 to B2-5. Approvals will be needed from the local alderman, Committee on Zoning, and City Council. If approved, the developer plans to begin construction in November 2025 and finish up by November 2026. (Kugler, Urbanize Chicago, 9/19/25)
