Permission Granted To Fill Vacant Orleans Street Lot In Near North

A vacant lot at 935 North Orleans Street on the Near North Side will be empty no more, as the city has issued a permit for a new four-story building on the site. The nine-unit development was permitted on August 25 following its application back on April 21, 2022, a duration of 1,222 days. This permit comes with a reported cost of $800,000.

I Development Inc is named as the property owner, with Alan Leskiv as the architect of record. No details of the building specs are included other than the presence of a basement level. Outside, there will be a trash enclosure and five parking spaces, though whether they’ll be surface spaces or located inside a garage is not addressed. TJW Plumbing Inc of Des Plaines is assigned to general contractor duties.

The permit designates this as an “apartment building,” so it is presumed that these will be rental units. The subject parcel is a vacant lot just north of the intersection with West Walton Street. It is flanked on each side by four-story residential buildings with ground-floor restaurants.
