Concrete block has reached the fourth level for the residential development next to the Belmont CTA platform at 919 West Belmont Avenue in Lake View. That’s where Mavrek Development is erecting a five-story, 46-unit building marketed as Belmora. There’s also a brief glimpse of brickwork at street level on the structure’s east façade.
With foundation work and the basement level set, progress has moved to the first floor for the three-story, six-unit building at 4317 North Paulina Street in Ravenswood. The property, which lies in the northern panhandle of the Lake View Community Area, got its construction permit back in September 2023, but work didn’t get underway until demolition of a 1905-built greystone on the site was demolished in October of last year.
Exterior work is nearing completion as The Anderson prepares for its grand opening in May at 4713 North Clark Street in the Uptown neighborhood. There was progress on balconies past week, but the more noticeable efforts were on the garage portion of the building off the alley in the back. It appears they got all brickwork done, with the installation of overhead doors coming soon.
A Schaumburg developer received permits to construct five three-flat residential buildings in North Lawndale on March 12. Using the entity of Missing Middle Chicago LLC, Alteza Group LLC will fill four vacant lots with the five buildings spread out over a six-block area of the neighborhood. All five permits were filed for between February 2 and February 10 of this year.
A pair of tower crane permits came through for Chicago on March 12, a small sign that this could be a busier year for large construction projects in the city than what we’ve seen the past couple years. Both cranes will erect residential buildings: one on the Near South Side, and one in the West Loop.
