A three-story plus basement, six-unit building has been permitted for construction by the City of Chicago at 2720 North Ashland Avenue in Lincoln Park. Platinum Homes Development Corporation applied for the permit on June 18 after City Council approved the project in May. The permit was issued on August 19 with a reported cost of just over $1 million.

360 Design Studio is named as the architect of record for the building. They’ve included east-facing balconies on the second and third floors, with a private deck and pergolas on the rooftop. Outdoor decks will be built at the rear of the first-floor units. A detached six-car garage will be constructed on the alley accessed from Diversey Parkway to the north and from Marshfield Avenue one block west.
2720 North Ashland is a side yard with a small garage in the rear. To its south, 2718 North Ashland is improved with a masonry multi-unit residence built in the early 1910s. Real estate listings show the sale of that building in July for $900,000. Both structures will require tearing down, but neither has been issued a demolition permit yet.
