Northwestern Medicine

The proposed facility at 48th and Cottage Grove is one of three planned across the city to make care more accessible for residents.

Northwestern plans to use the property as a temporary office space during construction or to build a stormwater detention basin for its $150 million medical facility.

The $150 million project could break ground as soon as early fall, developers say.

But some neighbors who live near the proposal say more revisions need to be made before the city gives Northwestern the final OK to build.

Northwestern still needs city approval for the zoning and permitting processes but anticipates breaking ground on the project in early fall.

Volunteers added to the registry will be contacted when they fit the requirements for upcoming clinical studies of potential coronavirus vaccines.

It could take six to eight weeks before doctors know if the drug is effective, a UIC doctor said.

The shuttered Sabatino’s will be demolished along with The Fairbrother Funeral Home and two apartment buildings on Irving Park Road.

The new facility, which offers treatment for common illnesses and injuries, is open daily.
