As requested yesterday, we have some progress photos taken last week of the Halsted Street Viaduct and Chicago Avenue Bridge projects, although the bridge is much easier to see. We don’t have a drone, but as has been mentioned here, there are overhead shots out there of the viaduct, and it has come a long way since demolition began last year.

One of two three-flat permits with application start dates of July 30 has cleared the Chicago Data Portal, allowing a developer using an LLC to begin construction. A three-story, three-unit building was permitted for 5717 South Calumet in Washington Park on October 7, 69 days after the app. Linden View LLC, for which the permit uses the same address as the project’s address, is named as the property owner.
Construction progress has reached Level 9 on the apartment development at 310 West Huron Street in River North, which developer ZSD Corp has now topped out. The residential floors are completed, with a few finishing touches still to be done on the ninth-floor amenity level located in the middle section of the building’s “thirds.” There remains a street crane on site, so some heavy lifting still needs to be done. Window installation is underway, with more glass showing on the rear of the building along the alley than on the Huron Street frontage, for now.
A permit issued by the city to a private property owner allows for the construction of a three-story, three-unit residential building at 1419 South Christiana Avenue in North Lawndale. The permit, which only waited in the Chicago Data Portal for 42 days from its application start date of August 27, comes with a reported cost of $500,000. It names Toro Construction Corporation of Orland Park as the general contractor, with Jose Pareja of JP Architects, Ltd in Palos Heights as the architect of record.
Progress on Halsted Pointe’s first residential tower continues to make horizontal headway, as construction crews from Onni Group and McHugh Concrete work on the building’s lower levels. Ramps to and from the parking floors crisscross the site as a near-continuous stream of concrete flows from McHugh’s pump rig.
