Permission has been granted by the city to construct a residential and office mixed-use building at 3422 South Morgan Street in the Bridgeport neighborhood. Showing an application date of December 5, 2024, the permit came through on July 29 with a reported cost of $1.5 million.

Kuo Construction is the recipient of the new permit. They plan to build a four-story building with office space at ground level and two dwelling units on the upper three floors. That layout would seem to lend itself to a full-floor condo on the second level, and a duplex-up occupying the third and fourth floors. A detached two-garage will be included on the alley at the rear of the property. Steven Smutny of Chicago’s Dearborn Architects is named as the architect of record.
Real estate records show Kuo purchasing a former home on the property in August 2023 for $240,000, then receiving a demolition permit for the 1918-built structure two months later. It has since been removed, leaving the lot vacant for redevelopment.
