Five new construction permits for single-family homes were issued by the City of Chicago over a one-week period earlier this month. Located on the site of the demolished Lincoln Park Hospital (Grant Hospital before an ownership and name change in the 1990s) at 550 West Webster Avenue, the five new homes join two others already in progress, and together they’ll form the Grant Place Residences when completed. Lincoln Park Hospital closed in 2008, and was permitted for demolition on June 6, 2012.

A three-unit residential building at 2718 North Racine Avenue in the Lincoln Park neighborhood has topped out at three stories, as exterior masonry work nears completion. The development replaces a two-story multi-unit residence demolished this summer. The new construction permit, issued by the City of Chicago on September 20, names Devise Development Group of River Forest as the developer.
