Chicago-based developer Core Spaces proposed the construction of a 12-story, 232-unit market-rate apartment building dubbed “Johnson and Bassett” at 221 N. Bassett St., 430-444 W. Dayton St. and 437-445 W. Johnson St., but the council voted 13-6 in June to reject zoning changes that would allow the project to be built. Several council members said they opposed the apartment development because it lacked affordable housing units.
