Last year developers proposed a row of condos along a historic stretch of Arlington Place in Lincoln Park that would require rehabbing a historic home as well as demolishing an old bird sanctuary. Curbed Chicago recently released renderings of what that project will look like. The four-story development called 445 Arlington is being designed by Chicago’s Booth Hansen Architects and is expected to mimic the historic charm of the stretch.

The project will feature eight units priced between $1.3 million to $2.3 million. The building is expected to have a traditional design and incorporate limestone and aged brick. The facade will also feature oversized bay windows. Units will range from 2,100 square feet to 3,200 square feet in size.

On the inside, the units will have open floor plans with high-end appliances, five-inch hardwood plank flooring, and private elevator access.

The development made the news April 2016 because the condo building is taking over a historic property and its neighboring bird sanctuary. In 1986, the Chicago Tribune reported on the property purchased by Eugene Chesrow who fought long and hard to be sure the vacant lot would stay a greenspace.

Since the news broke of the development, the team behind the project has streamlined the design to fit in better with the rest of the block. There were are fewer trees cut down than the original plan.

Developers had to get approval from the city’s Zoning Board of Appeals and Commission on Chicago Landmarks because the property is located in the Arlington & Roslyn Landmark District. The condos are expected to be delivered in 2018.
