Original Post – Friday November 11th:

Plans for the construction of a new residential building on the lot at the corner of Sheridan and Catalpa appear to be moving forward.

Very recently we were informed the Owners of 5445 Edgewater Plaza had approved to sell their parking lot to developers planning a residential building on the site. Now, the office of Alderman Harry Osterman has advised us the developers of the project for Overture at Edgewater Beach, formerly known as the Bluewater Project, located at 5440 N. Sheridan Rd., are looking to move forward with a new proposal for a development on this corner. And they want to begin collecting feedback from the community. Including owners and residents at Park Tower.

To bring the public up to speed, a series of Open Houses were scheduled this weekend for anyone interested to learn more about the proposal:
•Saturday, Nov. 12, 1-4pm
Edgewater Development Corporation, 1055 W. Bryn Mawr Ave.
Entrance on Winthrop; parking available in lot behind building
•Sunday, Nov. 13, 1-4pm
St. Andrew’s Greek Orthodox Church, 5649 N. Broadway
The President’s Room
Parking available in lot

Overture at Edgewater Beach is planned to be an 18-story active adult community for people aged 55 and older, and includes 172 units, with 18 dedicated affordable units, and a 264-space parking garage. To learn more, you can attend the open houses where the developer will present all the available information about the proposal. Residents in the community are welcome to share comments and feedback directly with the developer and architect.

Next week we expect the Alderman’s Office to release a schedule for additional community meetings about this project.

If you’d like more information about this proposed development, please feel free to contact Alderman Osterman’s Chief of Staff Dan Luna at 773-784-5277 or via e-mail at: dan@48thward.org.
