Permits have been filed and are undergoing the review process for Dinkel’s Lofts, a mixed-use development at 3327 N. Lincoln. Planned for a V-shaped property, the site fronts both N. Lincoln Ave and N. Marshfield Ave. Developer PCR Group Chicago will retain the historic Dinkel’s building and sign as part of the project.

Designed by Jonathan Splitt Architects, the new building will stand six stories, rising almost 80 feet tall. As part of the design, the project will retain the facades of the famous Dinkel’s Bakery building and the three-story brick building to its south.

On the ground floor, the project’s residential lobby will be centered within the N. Lincoln Ave frontage. Rising above, the second floor sets back from N. Marshfield Ave, giving select units private roof terraces. The residential component of the project will split the 42 units.

With permits in the works, the development is moving closer to beginning construction. (Kugler, Urbanize Chicago, 1/9/25)

Preservation Chicago is thrilled that the second historic facade will be saved. This masonry facade and the Dinkel’s facade have been our advocacy priorities. We have been in conversations with stakeholders, including the developer, alderman, and neighborhood partners regarding this development. We support the incorporation and reuse of the Dinkel’s Bakery historic facade and neon sign into the new development. We encouraged the developer to incorporate the historic facade of the adjacent masonry building with ornate limestone ornament and arched cornice element.
