A groundbreaking has been held for the upcoming affordable housing development known as C.A.R.E Manor at 4531 West Washington Boulevard in West Garfield Park. We last covered the project in late 2025 as it received its building permits. Since then, additional renderings have been revealed by designer Triad Consortium LTC.

Acting on a permit issued the third day of June, demolition is in progress for the redevelopment at 1230 West Grace Street in the Wrigleyville neighborhood. Brophy Excavation is on the job, and they must have gotten started immediately, because more than half of the building, which occupies three lots, is demolished, and there are already a couple dozen pallets of bricks ready to be hauled off for salvage. That early June demo permit cited a reported cost of almost $64,000.
The Chicago City Council has officially approved the mixed-use tower at 215 North Racine Avenue in Fulton Market. The approval comes on the heels of 715 Randolph nearby landing an anchor tenant, continuing to build the area’s skyline. Efforts for the project are being led by local developer Domus along with architecture firm Archeo Design Studio.
Glass is being installed along the Chicago River on the east façade of Bally’s Casino. There may well be some over on the west side of the building as well, but with the Chicago Avenue Bridge closed, we didn’t make it over to that side of the project. But we did get a good look at the north end of the building from the Halsted Pointe construction site, and can confirm there had been no glass installed there yet as of June 6, when all of the photos in this gallery were taken.
Although it was approved by the Committee on Zoning last year for renovation of its dwelling units, an 1888 building at 950 West Willow Street in Lincoln Park will instead be demolished and replaced. A demolition permit was issued on June 15 for the three-story structure, with Brophy Excavation named as the demo contractor at a reported cost of $29,000. The permit had been pending in the Chicago Data Portal since the first week of March.
