The subject parcel contains a multi-unit frame building erected in 1890. According to real estate records, it was purchased in September 2024 for $1,085,000 by the entity of Kenmore & Barry LLC. A demolition permit has not yet been issued for the property, but will be required for razing the building before new construction can begin.

In its place, the new permit calls for a three-story plus basement, three-unit building designed by Besch Architecture of Palatine, IL. Floor plans published by the 44th Ward show one duplex-down condo with four bedrooms located in the basement level and a large covered terrace at the rear of the building. Simplex units on the second and third floors will have three bedrooms apiece, with small terraces overlooking Kenmore Avenue.

A four-car garage will replace the existing frame garage on the alley. It will be topped by a roof deck, as will the residential building. Rye Builders is named as the general contractor.

That recently completed example is giving medical office bad…
LOL. My first thought was “forget about this proposed building, let’s talk about that recent construction to the right!”
Looks great in the render. Nice big Chicago-style windows.
