CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- The Chicago Plan Commission is expected to approve the redevelopment of the former Sears store at Six Corners on the Northwest Side.

Under the plans by Novak Construction, the building will be renovated with Art Deco touches and converted into 207 residences.

Six Corners is where Milwaukee Avenue, Irving Park Road, and Cicero Avenue meet.

The Sun Times reported the $90 million project was on the agenda Thursday for approval by the Plan Commission, but the meeting was moved to next week. That typically means it's a done deal.

The plan also includes 50,000 square feet of ground-level shops, plus parking for 275 cars and about 200 bicycles.

The development is across Irving Park Road from another big development, The Point at Six Corners, which includes an Aldi and senior housing.
