Permission has been granted for the construction of a three-story with basement, two-unit residential building at 2246 West Lyndale Street in Bucktown. Issued on March 4, with an application date showing December 20, 2024, the permit follows on the heels of a demolition permit issued on February 21 to remove the existing home from the site. Real estate records show that residence, built in 1973, sold in November for $645,000. Brophy Excavation has been hired to handle demo work.

An LLC registered in Northbrook is redeveloping the property, using a design by Michael Cox & Associates. The building description would indicate these two units will be condos, with one a duplex-down to include the basement, and the other a duplex-up entailing the second and third stories. There will be decks on the back of the building, and a detached two-car garage at the rear of the property, accessed from the alley that runs behind and beside the lot. Brian Doherty Development LLC is named in the permit as the general contractor. The estimated construction cost is $725,000.

It looks like we’re finally seeing a single-unit building being replaced by a denser building with slightly less expensive individual units. We don’t know the sale price, but it would be nice if this was the beginning of a shift.
Oh, won’t somebody PLEASE think of the crappy in-fill split-levels!
If we don’t act now, they might all be gone someday.
Nah. Many of the west and southwest suburbs that were developed in the 1940’s through 1960’s are loaded with those. I lived in one in Elmhurst for part of my childhood.
I was no where remotely close to being serious.
This awful little unwanted intruder will be missed by exactly zero people.
It’s removal will help restore balance to the cosmos.
