Chicago Developer Closes 2025 With Three-Flat Permits In East Garfield Park, North Lawndale

Three permits issued on December 30 by the City of Chicago allow a local developer to erect three-unit residential buildings in the East Garfield Park and North Lawndale Community Areas. A-Z Plus Remodeling, Inc of Austin is the owner and general contractor. All three of their permits came through with reported costs of $500,000 apiece, and all three projects will replace long-vacant lots.

In East Garfield Park, applications were filed on October 30 to build three-flats at 2947 and 2949 West Wilcox Street, each designed by Pro-Plan Architects of Park Ridge. Scant details in the permits include a rear metal porch, presumably at all three levels and connected by a stairway, and six-foot wood fencing. There is no parking mentioned, and the structures will not have basements.

Residents will live within a three-block walk of CTA bus service in every direction, including the #20 Madison, #52 Kedzie, #94 California, and #126 Jackson routes. The California Green Line train platform is located half a mile to the northeast, and the Kedzie platform is just a tad further to the northwest.

In North Lawndale, an application was filed on November 7 for a three-story, three-unit building at 1825 South Springfield Avenue. Also designed by Pro-Plan, it carries the same specs as the Wilcox permits.
