Construction of 220 North Ada continues trending upwards in the Fulton Market District. Concrete has topped out on the four-story podium at the north end of the site, so now crews from Clayco and Adjustable…
Foundation work is underway for an eight-unit residential building at 2100 West 18th Place in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood. The four-story development got a construction permit from the City of Chicago on March 27 of this year. That permit indicates these will be rental units by specifying the word “apartments” and also calls for four outdoor parking spaces. It lists Fox Pilsen 4 as the developer, and FGAC Construction as the general contractor. Both companies appear to be affiliates of R.P. Fox & Associates in Oak Park, Illinois. DesignBridge is the architect of record for the project.
A demolition permit has been issued by the City of Chicago for the three-story multi-residence at 1150 West Diversey Parkway in Lake View. That’s also the former home of Lynn’s Hair & Spa, which appears to have moved around the corner onto Lincoln Avenue, according to a Facebook posting. The teardown will create a lot for a three-unit building on the site, to be developed by a local LLC. The demolition permit was issued August 29, naming Tir Conaill Concrete as the demo contractor. Real estate sites show the building was constructed in the 1880s; it sold in May of this year for $625,000.
Renovation work on the Thompson Center in The Loop continues, as more of the curved façade facing Randolph and Clark Streets has been stripped of its original cladding. The building’s transformation into Google offices has it looking a little bare and exposed at present; new triple-paned glass being used to replace the façade will aid in a more efficiently heated and cooled facility.
Two demolition permits have been issued to get a new development started at 4529 North Western Avenue in Lincoln Square. When we visited the site last month, demolition fencing was already up in anticipation of work getting started. And now it officially can, with the City of Chicago permitting both teardown on Thursday, September 12.
