According to past photos on Google Street View of a vacant property on Halsted Street at 28th Street, a condo project called “Stone Point” was proposed around 2007. Then, in an October 2012 imagery update, a project called “Parkview Terrace” was shown being marketed in Chinese and English.
Neither project materialized, but Parkview Terrace did post an updated sign by July 2015, showing a new rendering of the building.
There’s now a new project proposed for the lot, which is across from the Henry C. Palmisano park, known by some as Stearns Quarry. The building at 2805 S Halsted St would have 30 dwelling units, a small commercial space, and 33 percent fewer car parking spaces than normally required because of its proximity to the CTA’s Halsted Orange Line station.
Renderings on Hirsch MPG’s website show what it may look like, and the architecture firm’s project description matches the zoning change application. The zoning change is set to be heard during tomorrow’s Chicago zoning committee meeting.
