A three-flat was permitted for construction on July 8 to fill a vacant lot at 6514 South Vernon Avenue on the western edge of Woodlawn. A private developer applied for the permit on March 20, and it came through with a reported cost of $450,000.
Scant details in the permit call for a three-story, three-unit building on slab with a rear open deck, a rear parking pad, and a fence. Kathryn Shahbaz Obrien is named as the architect of record, and Urban Edge Group LLC will provide general contracting services.

The subject parcel is depicted in Google Street View images as empty and overgrown, with homes on either side, including one that has seen extensive renovation work. 6518 South Vernon, formerly a 1,5-story residence, was permitted for a second-floor rehab in June of 2025. The most recent Google image shows the upper level removed, with work still underway to add the second story. The 1930-built home was purchased using an LLC in May 2025.
