Chicago Developer Plans Two Edgewater High-Rise Buildings With 600 Apartments: Construction Fully Funded

A Chicago developer has announced plans to build two high-rise apartment buildings in Edgewater with 600 apartments.

Trilogy Real Estate Group paid $22 million for several properties, according to Commercial Observer, closing in December 2021.

The developer told the website it is now planning two residential towers.

“The capital is fully raised for the construction of both towers,” the developer said.

Trilogy paid $12.5 million for property at 169 Northeast 27th Street, 2728 Northeast Second Avenue, and 166 Northeast 28th Street in December 2021, according to The Real Deal. In addition, the company also bought 2634 Northeast Second Avenue, and 192 and 186 Northeast 27th Street for $9.8 million that same month.

Trilogy also owns additional property in the area.

In March, the company paid $30.6 million for the Edge 22 site at 2201 Northeast Second Avenue, according to The Real Deal.

Bring it! Edgewater needs these new buildings to create that critical mass of people needed for an urban neighborhood.

You got that right. Dozens and dozens of empty lots still in the core of the city. Hope this gets going fast.

It would be nice if things worked that way, but they usually don’t. Usually, housing and people come first, and then people start clamoring for better infrastructure, etc.

I wish Young Arts would develop their property – performance spaces, apartments for guest artists, cafe and restaurants. Could be funded and turn a profit with a condo tower where that pad for temporary shows sits.

from Miami Today “The Bacardi Buildings Complex at 2100 Biscayne Blvd. has been a locally protected historic resource since Oct. 6, 2009, when it was designated by unanimous decision by the Historic and Environmental Preservation Board.”

That Young Arts music hits me so hard
Makes me say “Oh, my Lord
Thank you for blessing me
With a mind to rhyme and two hyped feet”

You expect people on here to care about historic properties? I bet people on here wouldn’t care if Freedom Tower was demolished for an Arquitectonica box. Still, Young Arts underutilizes such a nice property. Reminds me of who owns Freedom Tower…

Preach. Freedom Tower is like our Ellis Island and yet its run-down, shottily run by MDC, and the back is a parking lot.

I meant the parts that aren’t historic. That two story building on the north side has been unusable since the 2017 hurricane. It isn’t historic.

Cool, hire a Chicago architect who can actually design a building that complies with Miami21 without a bajillion waivers, meaning built to human scale at the street, with articulation, symmetry, and stone cladding.
