The Wrigleyville demolition from last year that included concerns about an erroneous address has all worked out for the best, as progress on its replacement is now topped out. At 3739 North Clifton Avenue one block north of Wrigley Field, a three-story, three-unit building is nearing exterior completion, while workers attend to interior details.
A permit has been issued by the city to begin construction of a three-flat residence at 2711 West 18th Street in Douglass Park. The homes will occupy a lot currently unimproved and used for parking an vehicle storage. It lies on a dead-end block between Washtenaw Avenue to the east and Fairfield Avenue to the west.
A pair of residential units were permitted for construction late last month at 6852 South Langley Avenue in the Park Manor neighborhood of the Woodlawn Community Area. An application was filed by Greenline Homes on October 21 of 2024, with permission ultimately granted on January 28, a duration of 464 days.
For the second time in a 14-month span, a tower crane has been permitted to construct the first residential tower of the two proposed at 410 North Elizabeth in the Fulton Market District. Weldon Development Group has approval for 33-story and 31-story structures here, and they received a tower crane permit in December 2024 and a caisson permit in June 2025 to get started on the taller building, but work has yet to kick off.
The six-story brick and timber loft office building 168 North Clinton Street in the West Loop was permitted for demolition on January 22. Built in 1889, the structure’s first floor served as the Haymarket Branch of the United States Postal Service in recent years, before closing in 2021.
