Construction progress has risen to the third-floor exterior on the residential development at 691 North Milwaukee Avenue in the River West neighborhood. Framing work is visible for the second-level dwelling units, as the interior keeps pace with work on the building’s shell. Mo2 Properties is the developer, delivering 34 units in a five-story with basement structure.
A construction permit has been issued for the first phase of The Ave, an INVEST South/West development located at 3601 West Chicago Avenue in Humboldt Park.

A demolition permit has been issued for the Dunkin at 6254 North Western Avenue in West Ridge. That permit will allow construction to begin for a new restaurant that was permitted back in October of last year.
Demolition has begun on what was little more than an eyesore of a building at 1445 North Ashland Avenue in the Wicker Park/Noble Square area. What looks like a two-story structure that was never finished, or perhaps a renovation that was never completed, has finally met the proverbial wrecking ball, giving way to a new residential development on the site. A demolition permit was issued on November 20 of last year, and thanks to a Twitter user, we know that demo work got started this week.
