Row2750's townhouses in context

2750 N Lakewood Ave, Chicago

Mark spent some time in Lincoln Park this morning and brought back a picture of the southwest corner of Diversey Parkway and Lakewood Avenue, where construction on LG Development Group‘s Row2750 is slated to begin in just a few weeks. The rendering below will give you an idea of how the nine townhouses and two duplex condos are supposed to fit into the surrounding neighborhood.

Not too long ago, Diversey and Lakewood was a kind of a “confection intersection”: Although it’s official address is 2750 N Lakewood Ave, Row2750 essentially replaces the old Hostess Wonder Bread Bakery at 1301 W Diversey Pkwy, and the neighboring Peerless Confection factory was demolished this winter.

Developer Brian Goldberg says his company got special zoning on the project due to its location in an old manufacturing district, allowing LG to “go wider and higher than usual” with the units. Most of the townhouses will have 3,000 to 4,000 square feet – spread out over four stories, judging by the rendering below – and will be 22.5 to 23 feet wide instead of 18 or 19 feet, he says.

Row2750’s nine townhouses range from $1.19 million to $1.39 million. One three-bedroom duplex with 2,972 square feet is priced in the $990s, and a two-bedroom duplex with 1,791 square feet is listed in the $690s.

Goldberg says construction should begin in October, with deliveries following sometime in the summer of 2009.
