Construction progress has risen above foundation level for the Kensington School West Loop at 1220 West Adams Street in the West Loop. General contractor Charles Hall Construction got started on the building last fall, after receiving permission to begin on August 26, 2024. Charles Vincent George Architects is the architect of record, as they have been for each Kensington School development in the city.
A permit was issued February 13 by the City of Chicago to allow the owner of a three-unit residence at 2421 West Lexington Street in Tri-Taylor to add a fourth unit. The three-story building has a basement level, so it’s natural to assume the Additional Dwelling Unit will be built downstairs, but the permit does not specify that. RY National, Inc is named as the general contractor, with the permit indicating a cost of $50,000 for work performed.
Expansion of Fifth Third Arena on the city’s Near West Side continues to make progress, with the shell nearing complete enclosure. The Chicago Blackhawks are building a major addition to their practice and training facility at 1801 West Jackson Boulevard, adding more ice and community space and opportunity for area hockey fans to be involved in the sport.
A demolition permit was issued Wednesday, February 19 for a multi-unit residential building at 1036-67 West Taylor Street in the Little Italy neighborhood on the Near West Side. The permit names St. Ignatius College Prep as the owner of the building; Redfin shows the building was purchased in August for $1.8 million.
Now that the commercial building at 1950 West Lawrence Avenue in Ravenswood no longer exists, foundation work has begun for the five-story residential building that will take its place. Vista Group Realty is delivering 12 units to this site, after purchasing the property in July of last year after it had already been approved for new construction.
