The concrete basement has been poured and structural steel erection has begun for the new residential building at 822 West Aldine Avenue in Lake View. Developer and general contractor MK Construction & Builders has been on site since February, when they began demolition of the 1885 home they purchased in July of last year for $1.5 million. Their permit to build new came through on February 20th, and shows a reported construction cost of $950,000.

Pro-Plan Architects is behind the design of the new homes. The four-story with basement, four-unit masonry structure will be topped by a roof deck, and the property will be surrounded by wood and iron fencing. A detached four-car garage, also of masonry construction, will have a steel stairway accessing its own rooftop deck. It is not clear if these will be rental apartments of forsale condominiums.
