The City of Chicago has issued a new construction permit for a million-dollar-plus home at 4442 North Greenview Avenue in the Uptown neighborhood. Heritage Luxury Builders of Northfield is the developer of the home. The permit names Amazing City LLC as the general contractor, working on a design by Hanna Architects.
One of Chicago’s most unique preservation projects continues in Lincoln Park, as erection of the steel framework continues at the Second Church Of Christ, Scientist. With the west, south, and east façades still intact, the gutted former church, located at 2700 North Pine Grove Avenue, now holds a steel frame upon which a six-story, 22-unit residential building from Ogden Partners is blooming, thanks to construction work by general contractor MC Construction.
Exterior construction for the Northwestern Medicine Bronzeville Outpatient Center at 4822 South Cottage Grove Avenue, in the Grand Boulevard Community Area continues to progress toward completion. Much of the cladding for the parking structure at the south end of the facility is up, as is most of the glass curtain well around the office and patient care areas at the north end. Significant interior work remains, as healthcare-specific preparations require considerably more time to implement than standard construction.
A four-story with basement, eight-unit residential building is underway in the Lincoln Park neighborhood at 2435 North Clybourn Avenue. The development from PFH Homes of North Center replaces a double lot that has been vacant since a demolition permit was issued in 2014 for the two-story building at 2437 North Clybourn. The new permit was issued October 28 of this year.
Construction crews continue to add tiles of granite cladding to the Museum Tower’s exterior on the Obama Presidential Center campus in Jackson Park. And in September, they installed a glass art piece by Ethiopian-American artist Julie Mehretu on the building’s north façade. Titled “Uprising of the Sun,” the piece consists of 35 individual panels and measures 83 feet by 25 feet.
