A trio of three-flats are coming to the 1400 block of South Spaulding Avenue in the North Lawndale neighborhood, with the first two receiving new construction permits on June 24. The identical authorizations for 1441 and 1443 South Spaulding each show application start dates of April 21, and were issued with reported costs of $400,000 apiece. The third permit, for 1439 South Spaulding, has the same start date as it pends in the Chicago Data Portal.

All three buildings will be three stories with no basement levels. Limited specifications include three surface parking spaces, two-story rear wood porches, and wood and iron fences. The same LLC is named as the property owner, though the permits use each building’s street address to designate the LLC. Angel Sida is the architect of record, with Vermex Holdings Ltd on board as the general contractor.

This is soon to be a very busy block. A different development team received a permit in February to erect a three-flat just north of here at 1419 South Spaulding, and they have two more permits pending for 1421 and 1429 South Spaulding. Those three projects carry similar specs, with three surface parking spaces, rear two-story porches, and wood and metal fences, while also including private rooftop decks. We have not been able to ascertain if that first residence is under construction yet. Nor is it clear if either developer will offer their units as for-sale condos or as rentals.

Residents of the new units will live within a two-block walk of north-south bus service via the CTA’s Route 52 along South Kedzie Avenue. Roue 18 buses run eastbound and westbound less than two blocks south at West 16th Street. The #52 can be used to connect with the Kedzie Pink Line elevated platform about half a mile south or the Kedzie-Homan Blue Line platform one mile north at the Eisenhower Expressway.

Really glad to see the empty spaces between these two flats filling in with 3 flats. Hopefully this leads to the neighborhood growing & revitalizing with as little displacement as possible.
