Demolition took place this past week on a single-story concrete block building on West Grace Street in North Center. And that means we could see the start of construction work on a five-story, 62-unit residential development imminently.
A permit has been issued by the City of Chicago to construct a new residential building at 2011 West Grand Avenue in West Town. The developer, named as 2011 W Grand JV LLC in the permit, applied to build on October 31 of this year. After a period of just 48 days, the permit came through on December 18 with a reported cost of $2,193,750.
Excavation is underway at 1010 South Wells Street in the South Loop, as the first tower for the Riverline development comes back to life. Piles were driven on the site last winter, after which the lot went quiet. Now, what appears to be the beginning of foundation work has arrived.
Demolition is in progress for the three buildings that formerly comprised the Leslie Hindman Auctioneers complex at West Lake and North Ada Streets in the West Loop. A site visit this week showed a pause on demo work as crews salvaged and palletized bricks. Lot of bricks.
The residential development at 4309 North Lincoln Avenue has now reached its second of four levels in the North Center neighborhood. The property lies mid-block between Pensacola and Cullom Avenues, and was previously home to a small commercial plaza. Mangan Builders received permission to begin construction here in April for four stories and 12 units, with the permit citing a reported cost of $2.85 million.
