• Developer acquires 182-unit apartment portfolio in Lakeview (urbanize.city) — A major real estate deal just reshaped a Lakeview block, with Concord Capital buying nine historic Elaine Place apartment buildings totaling 182 units and 105 parking spaces between Wrigley Field and the lake. The new owner plans only light cosmetic updates for now but could eventually add more housing, since current zoning allows up to 306 units on the site. 
• Chicago's Sidewalk Robot Swarm Exposes Cracks in Delivery Automation Push (webpronews.com) — Autonomous delivery robots are causing safety and accessibility concerns on Chicago's North Side, including a reported collision with a Divvy biker in Lakeview.
