Kora Proposes 59-Unit Lakefront Building on Sheridan Road Lot
Kora Development has applied for a lakefront review to build 59 apartments and 59 parking spaces on a vacant Edgewater lot. Plan Commission hears it Nov. 19.

Kora Development has asked the city to review a five-story, 59-unit residential building on a vacant lot at 6124-44 North Sheridan Road in Edgewater. The application is on the Chicago Plan Commission’s Nov. 19 agenda. It is a proposal as filed, not an approval.
Why it matters
The lot sits inside the Private-Use Zone of the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection District, so a project here needs a Lakefront Protection Ordinance review even when the underlying zoning already allows it. The agenda says no zoning change is proposed: the site is zoned RM-5.5, so the question for commissioners is the lakefront review, not a rezoning.

That narrows the risk for a developer. A by-right residential plan on a vacant parcel faces a single public hearing rather than a map amendment fight. It also marks another multifamily proposal on the North Side lakefront corridor, alongside the 2800 Sheridan redevelopment also scheduled this month. See more in Chicago.
The numbers
The agenda describes redeveloping the existing vacant lot with a five-story residential building containing 59 dwelling units, 59 parking spaces and one loading berth. That is a parking ratio of one space per unit. The agenda item lists the frontage as 6124-6144 N. Sheridan Rd., in the 48th Ward.
The agenda does not state a construction cost, unit mix, rents or financing. We have not pulled those because none appears in the record, and none is estimated here.
What’s next
The Plan Commission hears the application Nov. 19 at its regular meeting. The commission’s decision on a lakefront application is the next public record. Until then the building remains a proposal. The application materials posted with the agenda are the place to watch for design changes before the hearing.
