Developed by The Alverna Group, 3252 N Racine will have a basement beneath its two dwelling units, as well as a detached two-vehicle garage at the rear of the property. A rooftop enclosure will adorn the residential building, while a separate roof deck will top the garage. Desmond Builders is the general contractor, with Vari Architects as the architect of record.
The new construction permit was issued on October 17 of last year, followed shortly by a demolition permit on October 19, 2023.
