Just shy of a year after caissons were permitted, and a little more than three months after its tower crane was permitted for the second time, site preparation is underway for 410 North Elizabeth. Some time over the past week or so, new construction fencing has been set up around the perimeter of the lot, and what had been a considerable amount of vegetation has been cleared. The site is now a well-manicured mixture of rock and dirt, ready for caissons to begin.
Additional renderings have been revealed for the upcoming Backbeat Hotel at 3257 North Halsted Street in Lake View. Sitting on the corner with West Aldine Avenue, we most recently covered the project back in February when an updated design was made public. The proposal is still in the works and plans to replace a vacant two-story commercial building.
Caissons and foundation work are done and the first signs of verticality are rising from the ground for the residential building at 566 West Van Buren in the West Loop.

Move-ins have begun as an opening has been held for the mixed-use development known as ‘Inside Info Fremont’ at 1549 North Fremont Street in the Near North Side. Sitting just south of the intersection with West North Avenue, the project broke ground in late 2024 and replaced a large vacant lot surrounded by a car dealership garage.
