Construction is ongoing for a second-floor addition to the offices of the Laborers’ Local 1001 standalone building at 323 South Ashland Avenue on the Near West Side. The long, narrow, single-story building received a number of new permits last spring and summer. Vari Architects designed the new addition, with Harbor Country Development of Burr Ridge handling general contractor duties.
Could be just a quirky coincidence, but a demolition permit was issued by the City of Chicago on February 13 for the residential property at 3729 North Clifton Avenue in Wrigleyville. The owner is listed in the permit as 3739 N Clifton LLC, which is an entity for United Chicago Builders. Those house numbers, of course, are not for the same house.
Foundation work has started for a new residential building at 453 West Briar Place in the Lake View neighborhood. The five-story, six-unit condominium project is being built by Chicago’s GVP Development. They got a foundation permit back in November 2023, before receiving permission to complete the project in May of last year.
A demolition permit for a single-story building on North Seeley Avenue in Bucktown marks another step closer to the beginning of a new residential development for the site. YIMBY reported on 2350 North Seeley in June of last year, and now a permit to tear down the second of two buildings on the lot was issued by the city on February 6.
The sidewalk canopy on Lincoln Avenue hides much of the progress, but work is still getting done on a residential development at 3037 North Lincoln Avenue in Lake View. Promised Land Development (PLD Homes) is putting up a four-story, 15-unit building here that was permitted for construction on September 17 of last year.
