Mayne Stage Developers Propose 50-Unit Apartment Building On Morse Avenue
1. Mayne Stage Developers Propose 50-Unit Apartment
Building On Morse Avenue
ROGERS PARK -- Col. Jennifer Pritzker, the owner and developer of Rogers Park's Mayne Stage
theater, is proposing to scrap a mostly empty stretch of strip mall to make way for a new eight-story
residential development with 75 parking spaces, according to Ald. Joe Moore (49th).
Formerly, that area of 1313 W. Morse Ave. housed a laundromat, cellphone and video stores, but has
long remained vacant.
Now Pritzker's Tawani Enterprises, also the developer behind 1340 W. Morse Ave., is asking to re-
zone the land to allow for a taller building with more apartments than what city code currently
allows.
2. Under a new zoning classification, developers could build the 83-foot-tall, 50-unit building they're
proposing -- the top five floors of which would be apartments, with the first three being dedicated to
shared parking between residents (25 spots) and Mayne Stage patrons (50 spots), Moore said in an
email to residents.
On Wednesday, Moore will hold a community meeting at Mayne Stage, 1330 W. Morse Ave., with
Sean McGowan of Tawani, as well as Tawani's lawyer, Andrew Scott.
