On our last site visit to River North last month, we got a glimpse of foundation work at 227 West Chicago Avenue. Work had just started, and only included one corner of the construction site. Now, that progress has spread to the entire footprint as efforts ramp up on the new residential building.
A two-flat residence has been permitted for construction by the City of Chicago for a vacant lot at 724 West 26th Street in Bridgeport. A private developer applied for the permit on September 13 of last year, and it came through on January 22 with a reported cost of $500,000.
An early February permit allows for the construction of three-story, three-unit residential building at 1244 South Springfield Avenue in the North Woodlawn community. A private developer registered to an address in Hoffman Estates applied for the permit on September 11 of last year, and it came through on February 4 with a reported cost of $300,000.
A modest single-family home at 243 West 22nd Place in the Chinatown neighborhood will soon be replaced, thanks to a construction permit issued by the city last month. A private developer applied for a building permit on November 9 of last year, and it came through on January 20 with a reported cost of $500,000.
Foundation work is underway for Club Grace, a residential development at 1801 West Grace Street in North Center. Demolition of the one-story industrial shed on the site wrapped up in December, and last week, an excavator was spotted getting the digging started.
