BEFORE AFTER
SLICE FACTORY
OGDEN & HARLEM
Slice Factory is set to move to the former McDonald’s location on Ogden Ave. The long vacant 3,100 sf site at 6900 W Ogden Ave received a much-needed face lift. Complete with a ‘Slice-Thru’—a 24-hour drive-thru—this new and improved location will also be home to Slice Factory’s corporate headquarters, creating additional jobs for the community.
The lot at the southeast corner of Ogden Ave and Harlem Ave is now under new ownership and slated for redevelopment! The site will be home to a brand new 7-Eleven, complete with a gas station and an additional standalone building that is best suited for retail or restaurant use.
THE BERWYN HOTEL The new site will contain 28 new units while maintaining the building’s façade in compliance with state historic preservation standards. The new apartments will offer affordable, quality and maintenance-free housing to our Berwyn seniors. The redevelopment is a welcome addition to the Depot District, while diversifying the City’s housing stock and improving the character of Oak Park Avenue.
Berwyn's Harlem/Cermak TIF Identified as a Success Story
Berwyn Gateway Plaza Phase IIIThe third and final phase of Berwyn Gateway Plaza has been completed and showcases the revitalization of the commercial block on the north side of Cermak Road between Wisconsin Ave and Wenonah Ave. With an additional 9,650 sf of retail space to the City’s marketplace, Phase III welcomes Panera Bread and Comcast Xfinity’s new concept store. With its completion in 2018, Phase III will add new tax revenue and create jobs at this increasingly popular intersection in town.
