“A renovation permit has been issued for a residential development at 3731 N. Sheffield. Planned by Mangan Builders, the project site is located just north of Wrigley Field, midblock between W. Waveland Ave and W. Grace St.

“With Jonathan Splitt Architects on board, the development will renovate an existing three-story home while building a four-story addition next to and on top of it. Set to hold 8 residential dwellings the unit mix will consist of 3 two-beds, 3 three-beds, and two duplex four-bedrooms.

“Rising 49 feet tall, the building is designed with the four-story addition sitting to the north of the existing structure, rising above and on top of it. The new portion will be in contrast with the existing home, clad in dark brick and metal paneling. The existing bay windows will be opened up and turned into balconies, giving every unit access to a balcony.(Kugler, Urbanize Chicago, 8/30/24)

Preservation Chicago applauds the developer for incorporating the historic facade into the new construction. This maintains the historic material, scale, and streetscape, while investing in a new, higher density residential building.
