Work continues below street level on the new residential building at 1950 West Lawrence Avenue in Ravenswood. Vista Group Realty is developing up a five-story, 12-unit building here, formerly the site of a terra-cotta faced furniture store, and long before that, a Jewel grocery. That has all been demolished now, and Vista, acting as their own general contractor, has made significant progress on the new structure’s foundation.
A pair of new construction permits have been issued by the City of Chicago to allow construction of 14 townhomes in the Douglas neighborhood. An LLC registered to an address on LaSalle Street in The Loop was the recipient of the two permits, and with the exception of the homes’ street addresses, they are identical. Each comes with a reported construction cost of $4.1 million; the application date shown for both is November 15, 2024. D.O.M. Properties Investment, Inc is the general contractor.
The residential development at 1235 North Ashland Avenue in Wicker Park has taken similar strides in progress as its neighbor at 1257 North Ashland just up the street. We took a look at an update Thursday on 1257; 1235 is also at grade level, and will rise the same five stories. They are both being led by Noah Properties, with Buildmax as general contractor. They got a new permit from the city to build 1235 North Ashland on February 6, showing a reported construction cost of $4 million.
A residential development has been permitted at 3310 North Lincoln Avenue in Lake View, two and a half years after applications were filed to start construction. Mangan Builders will put up a six-story building on the site, which was cleared of a pair of low-sling structures back in spring 2024. The permit was issued on March 27, and it shows a reported cost of $6 million. Mangan is the general contractor, in addition to their developer duties.
A permit has been issued to allow a homeowner in North Center to add an Additional Dwelling Unit to their home at 2015 West School Street. The permit was issued on March 26 and shows an application date of February 19; the reported construction cost for the ADU is $42,300.
