A two-unit residential building has been approved to replace a 140-year-old single-family home in Avondale permitted for demolition back in May. A permit for 2942 North Gresham Avenue that hit the Chicago Data Portal on April 22 came through with a reported cost of $500,000 on June 16.
Foundation work is done, and construction is now underway on the first floor of the five-story, 32-unit residential development at 936 West Leland Avenue in Uptown. Concrete block has shaped the stair and elevator cores through the center of the site, and the front wall in underway at ground level. Along the alley, work on the north wall is just getting started.
The first of five new residential buildings in the 2400 block of West Warren Boulevard on the Near West Side has been issued a permit by the City of Chicago. Metropole Holdings LLC, under the entity of TKT Warren LLC, got a permit for a four-story plus basement, eight-unit building at 2423 West Warren on Monday, June 15. It came through with a reported cost of $1.431 million after spending just 12 days in the Chicago Data Portal.
A four-story residential building has topped out at 1321 North Ashland Avenue in West Town, as concrete block begins setting on the side walls for its attached garage at the alley. The brickwork on the front and side façades for the dwelling units appears to be complete, and an elevator enclosure is visible near the northeast corner of the roof top, which will also include a deck for residents. That should provide enough elevation for nice skyline views. The new construction permit allows balconies on the three upper floors; those have yet to be installed.
A demolition permit was issued on June 16 to remove a frame residence and detached garage for redevelopment at 4519 North Western Avenue in Lincoln Square. The application start date is April 13, and it comes through with a reported cost of $19,950. Brophy excavation is named as the demo contractor for the property.
