SoNo Condominiums, which stands for “South of North Avenue,” will elevate 28 stories , which is indeed two blocks south of North Avenue. In 1997, Smith Field acquired the site formerly known as "Homemaker's" and commissioned a recognized local architect to design a residential building. While the zoning at that time permitted residential high-rises, a series of re-zonings were proposed that delayed development of our property. Ultimately, we received authorization to proceed with this project. With the exception of our property, the current zoning plan prohibits residential high-rises in the area bounded by West North Avenue, North Halsted Street, West Division Street, and the Chicago River.
