The concrete foundation is in the ground for the sub-grade level of a new residential building at 1404 West George Street in Lake View. The three-story plus basement, two-unit structure replaces an 1885-built frame residence that was approved for demolition in September. The property was purchased in April for $920,000.
A new permit was issued August 21 allowing construction to begin: it came through with a reported cost of $920,000 about three months after its May 19 application date. The entity of 1404 West George LLC, registered to an address in Park Ridge, is named as the developer, with Knightsbridge Prestige Construction Company designated as the general contractor by a permit revision issued August 25.
The permit calls for a private roof deck and access stairway. A detached two-car garage at the rear of the property, accessed from the alley off Southport Avenue, will also have a rooftop deck. Design work is by Michael Cox & Associates. Though it isn’t confirmed if these units will be for-sale condos or rental apartments, the presence of two dwelling units across four levels would indicate these to be one duplex-down condo and one duplex-up for-sale condominium.
As of November 5, excavation had been completed, and the basement level had been enclosed in concrete. Vertical progress should come soon. There has been no word yet on when units will be available.
