Anything on where this additional will be placed? I know this building and there’s a cemetary on one side and a small two flat or single family on the other side.
I was there today, and it appears 3837 North Clark is being prepared for demolition. I wouldn’t stake my life on it, but sometimes, you can just tell. https://x.com/BuildingChi/status/1848817624345399668
Thanks for that link – now it’s clear. They’re tearing down the house next door, and adding on to the new building. OK.
What’s amazing is that it appears the new 6 new units are costing $1,200,000 to build, or $200,000 each. Meanwhile, a few blocks away, a new “affordable” development that’s getting public funding is costing over $1,000,000 a unit to build.
