Residential construction has been approved for new homes at 4217 South Indiana Avenue in the Bronzeville neighborhood. Keaney Construction Group and affiliate Red Van Construction applied for a permit on April 14 of this year, and it came through on October 8 with a reported cost of $420,000.

Architect Charles Schwartz has designed a three-story, three-unit masonry building with open rear steel decks on the second and third levels, connected on all floors by a steel stairway. A three-car garage, also of masonry construction, will be built at the alley linking 42nd and 43rd Streets. It is not clear if the units will be rental apartments or for-sale condominiums. The subject parcel is one of several vacant lots on the block available for development.

These little lots are small projects but there’s been so many this year. I wish there was an easy way to tally all that’s been approved. 2025 has definitely seen several thousand at this point. (Between approval and construction started)
