With the arrival of excavation equipment in the final days of October, construction has now begun for a new residential building at 2644 North Lakewood Avenue in Lincoln Park. The homes replace a large 1992-built single-family dwelling at 2642 North Lakewood that was permitted for demolition in July and razed in late summer.
A demolition permit was issued October 20 for a multi-unit residence and detached garage at 2717 North Dayton Street in the Wrightwood Neighbors area of Lincoln Park. The permit names Builder Luxury as the demo contractor, at a reported cost of $20,000.
Two demolition permits issued by the City of Chicago on the final day of October will usher in redevelopment on the 1600 block of North Halsted Street in Lincoln Park. Those two buildings were home to the Royal George Theatre, which closed in 2020. Precision Excavation has been contracted to tear down 1633 and 1649 North Halsted Street, which entail a four-story and two-story building plus a parking deck.
The Chicago City Council has approved plans for a residential expansion at 458 West Dickens Avenue in Lincoln Park. Located at the six-corner intersection of Cleveland and Lincoln Avenues, the proposal was originally revealed late this past summer. The project is being led by the building’s current owner, Arthur Paris.
Plans have been officially revealed for a mixed-use proposal at 607 West Diversey Parkway in Lincoln Park. Located just east of the six-corner intersection of Clark Street and Broadway, the project would replace a 16-space parking lot for the former Inn at Lincoln Park. The new building would rise after the residential conversion of the former inn at 601 Diversey is completed.
