A permit has been issued by the City of Chicago to build a three-story, six-unit residential building at 416 East 50th Place in Grand Boulevard. An application was filed by Westwood Group One LLC on June 12 of this year, with the permit coming through on August 12. It includes a reported cost of $1,052,700. No structural details are noted in the permit. A detached garage will be included, but the number of parking spaces is not specified.
Site context, via Google Maps
Axios Architects is named as the architect of record. General contractor duties are assigned to Metropole Holdings LLC, which is registered to the same South Loop address as the developer, Westwood Group One LLC. There are seven more permits pending in the Chicago Data Portal registered under that location, though some note different entity names. They will fill in its entirety a vacant lot spanning from King Drive to the west to the Provident Dialysis clinic at 430 East 50th. Provident Hospital occupies an adjacent property on the south side of the street.

In addition to the permitted building, there will be three more six-unit buildings, addressed as 400, 408, and 422 East 50th Place. Amongst those will be four three-unit buildings at 406, 412, 420, and 428 East 50th. The three-unit projects do not indicate the inclusion of garage structures, and only 428 mentions adding three surface parking spaces. The six-uit buildings will all have garages, but none of the permits indicate the number of stalls.
