Premium Builders Ltd of Northbrook is the developer and general contractor, with design work by Michael Cox & Associates. That duo has teamed up previously on this block. A row of four townhomes was permitted for construction on January 29, 2024 to allow single family residences at 6200, 6202, 6206, and 6208 South Ellis Avenue. Recent Google images show completed homes, and real estate listings indicate all four have been sold at prices ranging from $926,000 to $1.12 million.
