Two demolition permits issued for the West Loop by the City of Chicago on January 10 could indicate that the start of 1201 West Fulton construction is near. One demo permit is for the Christensen & Olsen Foundry Company building at 218 North Racine Avenue, and the second permit will raze the former Revel event space at 1201 West Fulton Market.
A three-flat has been granted permission to begin construction at 957 North Winchester Avenue in the East Village neighborhood of West Town. Permitted by the City of Chicago on January 6, the new residences will replace an empty grass lot one door south of the intersection with Augusta Boulevard.
Construction progress at 2354 North Washtenaw Avenue in Logan Square has reached the underside of the fifth and uppermost floor, as brickwork has made its way up four floors on all sides. This is the neighbor and sibling property of 2357 North Washtenaw, which we visited Thursday. Both projects broke ground in 2024.
A demolition permit issued on January 8 by the City of Chicago will allow for the razing of a 1917-era home at 4125 North Narragansett Avenue in Portage Park and the redevelopment of the lot into a three-story, 18-unit residential building. Real estate records show the home sold for $585,000 in 2023, with developer Borter Z, Inc making the purchase and delivering plans for the new project.
The first piles were driven into the ground at 1010 South Wells Street in the South Loop on Thursday, marking the beginning of the Riverline residential development. Eschewing caissons, those piles will provide the foundation for this 21-story, 386-unit building from CMK Properties. 1010 South Wells is the first, and northernmost, parcel to be developed for the multi-structure plan.
