A $600,000 permit issued on Thursday, October 15 allows for the construction of a four-story, six-unit residential building at 6156 South Champlain Avenue in Woodlawn. The permit had spent a mere 15 days in the Chicago Data Portal since its application start date of September 30 when it came through. The homes it authorized will fill a long-vacant lot on the northwest corner of Champlain and East 62nd Street.

Metal still dominates construction progress at 227 West Chicago Avenue in the River North neighborhood, but now glass has entered the chat. More iron is being set in place to frame the 10-story, 56-unit apartment building as it nears final height. Around the back along the alley, bright yellow sheathing has been added to the lower floors, climbing to parts of the sixth level. That has allowed developer and general contractor Noah Properties to install the first few windows on the south facade.
An asphalt lot on the corner of North Western Avenue and West Byron Street in North Center will soon be torn up and replaced by a new residential building Consortian Development LLC of Glenview. A permit assigned to the address of 2353West Byron came through the Chicago Data Portal on October 7 after waiting 50 days from its application start date of August 18. As Consortian Construction, the developer will provide their own general contracting duties, with the permit citing a reported cost of $2,182,930.
As requested yesterday, we have some progress photos taken last week of the Halsted Street Viaduct and Chicago Avenue Bridge projects, although the bridge is much easier to see. We don’t have a drone, but as has been mentioned here, there are overhead shots out there of the viaduct, and it has come a long way since demolition began last year.
