A permit has been issued by the City of Chicago to begin construction on a three-story, three-unit masonry building at 4932 South Champlain Avenue in the Grand Boulevard Community Area. The permit came through for Park Royal Development on January 3, while permission to build next door at 4934 South Champlain is still pending in the Chicago Data Portal. Both permits show application dates of December 13, 2024.

Charles Schwartz is named in the permits as the architect of record, and Crown Construction Company will be the general contractor. Each three-flat will include a rear steel stairway connecting to decks on the second and third floors. There will be three-car masonry garages located at the back of the lots, accessed from the north-south alley that connects 49th Street and 50th Street. Construction cost is estimated at $420,000 for the first building.
The residences will fill a long-vacant mid-block lot; a greystone next door, south of the lot, at 4926 South Champlain was permitted for a full rehab in 2019, with revisions issued in 2022 and 2023.
