4 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Mixed use residential rental development adjacent to CTA Brown Line Station at Montrose Avenue and Honore Street. Site was acquired by the CTA through eminent domain during the Brown LIne reconstruction project and subsequently sold through a closed-bid auction process. Harrington Brown was the sole bidder and purchased the site in The site is a T-shaped parcel with the short end of the T facing Montrose Avenue, a designated Pedestrian Street. A portion of the original site was used to reconfigure Honore Avenue immediately adjacent to the new El Station, further disfiguring the shape of the parcel. The total frontage of the site along Honore (facing the El tracks) is 205, creating an interesting opportunity for exposure to CTA daily riders. At the time of purchase by Harrington Brown, the zoning designation for the site was B3-1 but was subsequently upzoned to B3-2, the current zoning. The client now desires to attempt to upzone the site once more to B3-3 in order to increase density and obtain FAR and MLA bonuses as a Transit Oriented Development. The intention for the project is to appeal to a target market of year old urban professionals by leveraging the proximity to public transportation and local restaurants. Unit mix will be predominently small ( s.f.) 1-bedroom units with 3 efficiency apartments and 3 2-bedroom apartments, totaling 24 units in all. Average rents in the area in comparable buildings range from $2.00 to $2.10 per square foot. Smaller unit sizes will be compensated with amenities consisting of a common roof garden with skyline views and extensive vegetation. The parking requirement will be reduced due to the proximity to rapid transit and an abundance of neighborhood parking on Ravenswood. The ground floor will consist of approximately 5300 s.f. of retail/restaurant space fronting on Montrose and Honore. A glass facade at the retail space will draw pedestrians into the site and enhance the pedestrian experience on Montrose Avenue. SUMMARY OF ZONING REQUEST FOR 1819 W. MONTROSE AVENUE Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) TOD Ordinance Requires B3-3 Zoning Mixed Use Development with Retail, Apartments and Office Corner Site Offers Frontage on Montrose Avenue and Honore Street Appropriate Residential Density and Apartment Design Rooftop Neighborhood Business Offices and Co-Working Space Green Roof and Outside Terrace for Businesses and Residents Parking Provided Consistent with Transit-Oriented Development City of Chicago Affordable Housing Requirement can be done On-site Sideyard Setbacks Consistent with Prior Use and Neighborhood An additional component of the project, which also contributes to its ability to become an urban anchor for the community, is an open office/incubator space on the fifth floor. Approximately 3,000 s.f. of office space will house the office of Harrington Brown, as well as provide rentable office space for area small-business owners and entrepreneurs. This innovative concept, already successfully deployed throughought Chicago, will further enhance the Montrose Green building as a key community center in an already vibrant neighborhood. The design of the building will be contemporary and unique, suiting the specific condition of the site. On the exterior, durable, economical, timeless building materials will offset large glazed openings to invite natural light and urban views. Interior finishes will further reinforce the aesthetic of a youthful, urban, hipster aesthetic. Additionally, extensive rooftop landscaping will provide an outdoor amenity space to the tenants of the building, provide a habitat for insects and birds, provide stormwater management, and present the building to the thousands of daily commuters passing by as a visionary urban landmark in the 47th ward.
