Earlier this week, we let you know that a demolition permit had been issued for the one-story commercial building at 1367 West Wilson Avenue in Uptown that included the Happy Wash Laundromat. Now, as of February 6, the new construction permit has been issued as well. Developer Icon Property Management submitted the permit application on May 3, 2023. The address used for the new building is 4553 North Dover Street, with the permit estimating construction costs at just over $5 million.

The five-story building now on its way will hold 28 dwelling units and 25 parking spaces. B & K Concrete still needs to get started on demo work; as of the afternoon of March 6, no additional prep work had started since we last walked by the site on the 28th of February. When they’re done, Chicago Common Partners will take over the site as the general contractor for the new build. No timeline has been announced for the first tenant move-ins.

1367 West Wilson Avenue will be demolished for a residential building.
There has been no word on the fate of the terra cotta façade adorning the old commercial building. Renderings of the new building show no signs of it being incorporated into the new design.

Is this an optical illusion? From the corner it sets back three times but the whole of the building looks about the same distance from the curb.
I think the rendering does a bad job of showing street-side space getting wider with the setbacks, but that’s just my take on it.
Another LOSS for NOTHING _ this is what is ruining Chicago / mindless no design _ its not about money its about smarts …. this project is trash
