A pair of single-family residences were permitted for construction by the City of Chicago to replace a commercial greenhouse site slated for demolition in April. Developer and general contractor A & SL Construction of Palos Hills applied for permits on July 2, and they came through for 5326 and 5328 South Mason Avenue in Garfield Ridge on August 13, each with a reported cost of $300,000.

Peter Sterniuk is named as the architect of record. The homes will be two-story structures with basements, with detached two-car garages built on the alley at the rear of the properties. Identical permits are pending in the Chicago Data Portal for two more homes located at 5330 and 5332 South Mason.
The development site previously held a commercial building and attached greenhouse, both of which were permitted for demolition on April 4 of this year.

What a waste . This parcel should be developed with a mid rise or denser.
In the bungalow belt far from transit? Good luck getting that thru. We should pick our battles cause we’re not winning that one.
