The makeup of the Team Pioneros mixed-use development in Chicago
The architecture of the building extends the massing of the bank, carrying on the legacy of the bank building and representing the Latinx neighborhood. The massing, which is 109 feet tall, is divided between horizontal and vertical expressions that resemble the bank’s façade.

The new Chicago Public Library branch will be located on the ground floor of the structure. It will have access to the second story provided by a sculptural learning stair. A hole in the ground level will serve as a gathering place for the neighborhood. Additionally, providing room for street sellers to assemble. In front of this area will be a communal room that the library and the general public can utilize.
The fourth story will have amenities such as the Humboldt Park Health Counseling Services Center, laundry room, game room, fitness center, lounge, and outdoor terrace. The third floor will house the 58 parking spaces above that. All of the residential units will be located on the top five floors, which will also have solar panels and a green roof.
Rezoning the project site from B3-2 to B3-3
Before establishing a Planned Development for the project, the developer is attempting to rezone the site from B3-2 to B3-3. Although the site is now privately owned, the developers are almost done buying it. The proposal will move on to the Committee on Zoning and the whole City Council after receiving approval from the Chicago Plan Commission.
