A large residential development in Corktown is nearing completion of its main building. Elton Park, which will bring five new buildings to the neighborhood, will finish redevelopment of the Checker Cab Building by the end of the year.

This building will have 45 one-bedroom apartments and seven two-bedroom apartments on Trumbull. Curbed visited the building as work is finishing on the apartments.

The apartments have polished concrete floors, exposed brick walls, and exposed columns and beams. The one-bedroom options range from 600 to 900 square feet, and start at $1,020 per month. The two-bedroom apartments range from 950 to 1,175 square feet and start at $1,900 per month. This $2 per-square-foot rate is typically seen in downtown rentals.

The building will also have 101 covered parking spaces for its residents, along with other residents of Elton Park. When it opens, visitors will notice details acknowledging its past use. Fun paintings adorned the stairwells, and a 1951 Checker Cab—that was found under a tarp in perfect condition—sat in the parking deck.

The remaining buildings currently under construction are expected to finish up in spring of 2019. Expect 151 rental units total, with an activated alley between the Checker Building and 2120 Trumbull.

The Elton Park development, led by Soave Real Estate Group, is taking shape around the UFO Factory; early construction damaged the venue’s foundation and and north wall. After closing for 15 months, the bar has announced that they’ll reopen later this month.

Development has ramped up in this area in recent months. The Corner stands directly across Trumbull; modular apartments are being placed in this development at the site of the old Tiger Stadium. Tiger Towns—for-sale townhouses—are expected to go up next. And Ford announced earlier this summer that it will redevelop the train station and build a presence in the neighborhood. The area around the old ball park will start to look and feel a lot different in the next six months, and in a year or so, should be completely transformed with hundreds of new residences.
