The city has issued a pair of new construction permits to develop two three-story, three-unit residential buildings at 6220 and 6222 South Martin Luther King Drive in Washington Park. The permits came through on January 24 and January 27 respectively, and they are identical.

Kathryn Shahbaz O’Brien is named as the architect of record, and Halo Masonry & Construction of Glenview, IL is listed as the general contractor. Few details about the buildings are included in the Chicago Data Portal. We know these will be built on slabs (no basements) and there will be off-street parking pads, but the number of spaces isn’t mentioned. The estimated construction cost for each building is $450,000.
