A Chicago developer that received permits to build four two-flat buildings on the first block of West 44th Street in Bronzeville in February 2025 got permits to erect three more this week. Greenline Homes is the recipient of the permits, which all show application dates of March 18. They came through just 13 days later on the 31st, with each permit showing a reported cost of $440,144.

The three new identical permits are exactly the same as the four that were issued on February 14, 2025 for four lots across the street at 12, 16, 18, and 20 West 44th Street. Google Street View images from June 2025 show 20 West 44th Street under construction. Currently, each of those four addresses has a pending permit since February 2 of this year to install solar panels on the roofs of the dwelling structures.
