Developer to host series of open houses for proposed Pilsen development

Now that the proposed ParkWorks plan for Pilsen has broken cover, developer Property Markets Group will host a series of open houses for residents to learn more about the plan and to provide feedback. The plan, which would reshape a 7.85-acre site in the middle of the Pilsen neighborhood, could see the creation of several new buildings delivering hundreds of new residences and nearly 10,000 square feet of new commercial space.

The developer is hosting three open houses in June for residents to get a more detailed look at the plan. The first event will take place on June 7 at DeColores Galeria y Sabores running from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. A second open house will hosted at the Dvorak Park gymnasium on June 13 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The final open house will be held the next day on June 14 at Open Books also from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Property Markets Group principal Noah Gottlieb tells us that the event will avoid a formal presentation component and opt for a strictly open house format with displays and materials for residents to review. Gottlieb says that they encourage residents to provide their thoughts on the proposal.

“We are committed to a transparent, inclusive and iterative process with the collective goal of a creating a fantastic addition to the community,” Gottlieb said via email. “The purpose of the open house is to engage the community and invite residents to review project details. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions of the development team and to provide feedback on the proposal.”
