According to an article from Block Club Chicago, Westgate Partners will take over the former Aldi location at 3835 W Madison Street.
“Development group Westgate Partners has been chosen to replace the former Aldi at 3835 W. Madison St. with a five-story building containing 55 affordable apartments, a ground-floor restaurant and a 10,400-square-foot grocery store, the city’s Department of Planning and Development announced last week.”
“Westgate Partners is a partnership of three local, Black-owned development firms: TRUdelta, CBBC and East Lake. A public plaza and 72 parking spaces for residents and customers are also included in the plans.”
“We believe that the talent right here in our community should lead in making the change we all want to see, and know when we have the right partners, real changes are possible,” Westgate principals said in a 2023 statement about their proposal. “We see a thriving Black Business corridor on Madison. We see safety, opportunity and shared prosperity. We see excellence in a bright Black Future.”
