In the Loop 7600 Broadway on Schedule to Open 2nd Quarter 2022 BY RON AARON EISENBERG
It is impossible to miss the new building casting a shadow along Broadway and Nacogdoches, across from The Shops at Lincoln Heights. The building replaces the aging condominiums and a small retail structure that filled the 4-acre triangle, bordered by Broadway, Nacogdoches, and West Nottingham Dr. Embrey Partners Ltd. is developing the property. It will feature over 200 upscale residential units and just over 53,000 square feet of office space. Embrey Executive Jeremy Williams is overseeing the construction of 7600 Broadway. He told 78209 Magazine, “at times, more than 100 workers are on site.” The nose 14 NOVEMBER 2021 | 78209magazine.com
of the building, at the intersection of Broadway and Nacogdoches, will house the professional office space, plus Embrey’s new corporate headquarters. There will be no retail space and no bars or restaurants in the building. Parking will be below ground and ground level but screened from the street, according to Williams. When Embrey originally floated plans for the site in 2018, some area residents opposed the concept. But, the Oak Park Northwood Neighborhood Association endorsed the project and supported Embrey’s request for a zoning change to help facilitate development. Work began on the site in 2019.
