A Big Step Forward For Somerset


Good news!  We were forwarded an email that Ald. Osterman sent:  "[The Somerset Rezoning Request] passed through Committee on Zoning this morning and we expect it to receive full passage in City Council on Thursday."

Here's to 5009 North Sheridan reinventing itself, once again.

  1. Best Uptown story since Wilson. A major influx of market rate units and no TIF required.

  2. I heard banging and construction noises going on in there this morning around 8:45 this morning. I saw there was what looked to be a city notice on the front, but didn't read it. I'll have a better look when I go round tomorrow.

  3. As someone who's been watching the going-ons of Somerset from across the alley for 3 years, they've been working quite diligently inside there for awhile now. Taking out all the old stuff and rehabbing the whole place, putting in ceiling fans and taking out old doors. I hope they keep the basketball court hidden in the back, and maybe open it up to the public!

  5. @ CJ...i was kind of hoping they would turn the basketball court into an outdoor space for a restaurant in one of the retail spaces. Your idea is cool too.
