A construction permit has been issued for a new residential development situated at 4314 S Evans Avenue in Bronzeville. This property will feature a three-story residential masonry building, which will house three units. The development will replace what was previously a vacant lot. Jack Properties LLC is the listed owner of this project.
Designed by Charles E Schwartz, the project’s filing details several features, such as a stair enclosure attached to a private roof deck, open rear steel decks, and an egress stair at both the second and third floors. The property will also sport a rear concrete patio and a three-vehicle frame garage.
In terms of transit connectivity, the location offers service for Routes 4, X4, and 43 all within a two-minute walk. The closest Green Line CTA service, meanwhile, can be found at 43rd Station via a 14-minute walk west.
The construction will be managed by Crown Construction Company as general contractor. The reported cost for this development stands at $400,000. At present, there is no announced completion date for the project.

Faced with an abundance of vacant lots in the neighborhood, a developer buys the center building in a series of rare late 19th century two story rowhouses so he can demolish said structure and build a new three story apartment buidling. Plus, I’ll bet $20 that white siding was covering up a masonary structure that looked like the neighbors to the right.
I don’t know how many vacant lots there are in the area, but the ones that do exist are likely paying little in property taxes. The owners are probably holding them to eek out more profits and to delay capital gains tax payments. There could maybe be policies enacted to force turnover of vacant lots, but that would require vision, ambition, and effort on the part of city and county officials.
You’re probably right. This Charles Shwartz architect behind the design exclusively designs cinder-block buildings. Expect a major downgrade, despite the height bump
Article Header reads 4341 S Evans Ave. Text reads 4314 S Evans, which is a vacant lot, and the actual site for this project.
I think there may have been a mix-up here. The headline and photo caption say 4341 S. Evans, but the first paragraph says 4314. Which address is correct?
Hi John, yes there was a mix up. The address is 4314 S Evans Avenue, and the article has been updated accordingly.
Thanks, Jack. Now you need to update the photo & caption!
Yes! Should be all good to go now. Apologies for the confusion around this one
This architect’s name keeps coming up on lots of random small stuff. I can’t find any images of completed things of theirs. Does anyone have a profile/portfolio?
