Rendering For Building Going Up At 103rd And Kedzie Found

CHICAGO — As construction begins on the building going up at the southeast side of the 103rd and Kedzie intersection in Mount Greenwood, Patch has tracked down the final exterior rendering of the project. The rendering, provided by the architect working on the project, shows a two-story building that will have glass windows and a front entrance that presumably will be located on the northwest side of the building facing the intersection.

A sign along the construction fence at the site indicates an Insurance Navy office will open there when the building is complete. Insurance Navy is a car insurance company with 20 locations in Illinois and Texas, with other city of Chicago offices already open in the Back of the Yards, Hermosa, Chatham, Humboldt Park, Albany Park, La Villita, Wicker Park and Archer Heights neighborhoods.

Insurance Navy representatives did not respond to inquiries on their apparent plan to expand to Mount Greenwood.

The property owner did not provide additional details and the architect did not immediately have available the final site plan, which could include additional work offices or businesses.

For years, the 103rd and Kedzie location was home to a gas station. Most recently the gas station was called "B-Z."
