Concrete is in the ground for the foundation of 1506 West Henderson Street, a two-unit residential development coming to Lake View. A project by developer and general contractor V & M Development, the new building will be three stories plus a basement. A private rooftop deck and a rear covered deck at the first floor indicate these units might consist of one duplex-down and one duplex-up condominiums. The architecture is by 360 Design Studio, and will include a detached two-car garage providing each unit with one parking space. The new construction permit was issued by the City Of Chicago on July 22 of this year.
