The first of two three-flat residences was permitted on May 5 for the southeast corner of South Calumet Avenue and East 41st Street in the Bronzeville neighborhood. The issued permit is for the building just off the intersection, at 4104 South Calumet Avenue. It is to be a three-story, three-unit masonry structure; no basement is mentioned. A rear stairway will connect all three floors at the rear of the building, with decks on the top two levels and a patio in the back yard. A three-car garage will be erected on the alley off 41st Street, which runs below the passing Green Line elevated tracks.

The Committee on Zoning has approved plans for the proposed mixed-use high-rise at 215 North Racine Avenue in Fulton Market.

Efforts for the project are being led by local developer Domus.
