Two single-family residences have been permitted for construction at 11757 South Longwood Drive in the Morgan Park neighborhood. Issued to Kamau Murray of the XS Tennis and Education Foundation in Washington Park on April 22, the permit calls for a pair of two-story homes, with an application dated December 19, 2024.
With details for the two houses included under a single permit, the set appears to be a match. Each will feature a wooden front porch and a second-floor terrace. Detached two-car garages will be built behind each home, likely accessed from the existing curb cut on 118th Street. The permit indicates a reported construction cost of $600,000. While not specified, it’s presumed this total is split evenly, placing each dwelling at around $300,000. Other players on the project include Alexander Polichuk Architects LLC as architect of record and Center Court Construction LLC, an entity tied to XS Tennis, serving as general contractor.

Real estate records show the home, built in 1913, was sold to Murray for $155,000 in March 2024. Simplee Removal & Trucking handled the demo work, at a reported cost of $16,000.
