Broadway Triangle Development











Located along the north side of Broadway between 34th St & 3rd Ave in Oak Park, a request has been made to the Preservation Commission to develop a mixed use development consisting of 29 residential units and approximately 9,000sf of commercial space, 40 parking spaces, and several small urban park areas. Two of the structures involved in the project are existing historic structures, and several of the proposed new structures are to be constructed on vacant lots within the Oak Park Historic District. The parking for the project will be onsite garages and parking spaces as well as the introduction of on-street angled parking along 35th Street.














The proposed project is a collaborative partnership between Mr. Vrilakas and SHRA to activate the existing parcels, and further rehabilitate the Broadway Corridor and the Oak Park Historic District. This project requires a quicker timeline than most due to financing elements required to proceed with construction. The development team would like to break ground summer of 2011.

Excellent Vision, 20 years ago the notion of a catalyst for the renaissance of Historic Oak Park District was rolled out... the values and beliefs of original Oak Park residents is making a strong come back...

Looks like a great plan and would be a fantastic complement to the ongoing redevelopment of that area. Also like the architect's past work as well. Hope this gets built!

The question is, how will this and other redevelopment projects (K Street, Maydestone, Railyards) be affected if the Gov's budget passes, effectively shutting down SHRA and similar agencies?

It's on! It is being built! If you want to support it there will be another hearing on a portion of the project coming up. 4/2/13 at the city council meeting.
