Uptown TOD proposal at Broadway and Sunnyside breaks cover

As developer Morningside Group continues its conversion of Uptown’s former Graeme Stewart School into 64 residential units, the firm has taken the wraps off of a plan to construct a new mid-rise transit-oriented development (TOD) right next door. Known by its address of 1030 W. Sunnyside Avenue, the 128-foot proposal would include 144 rental units, 2,400 square feet of ground floor retail space, a green roof, amenity deck, and just seven parking spaces.

Designed by Chicago-based architecture firm Brininstool + Lynch, the modern-looking development is rendered with a facade of white and grayscale panels and a somewhat unusual mix of different sized windows. The new structure would stand in dramatic contrast to the adjacent 1905 former school building.

The 1030 W. Sunnyside proposal will require a zoning change to move forward. According to Uptown Update, the plan will be discussed at a future open house as well as go before the Clarendon Park Neighborhood Association and the 46th Ward Zoning Committee prior to Alderman James Cappleman taking a position on the development.
