A three-story, two-unit luxury condominium building at 840 West Lill Avenue in Lincoln Park continues to make rapid progress toward completion. The previous residence on the site, a single-family farmhouse that was built in 1860 and sold in May of this year, was demolished in July, with work on the new homes getting started before August began.
A demolition permit has been issued to tear down Our Lady of Fatima Church at 3051 North Christiana Avenue in the Avondale neighborhood. The City of Chicago issued the permit Monday, October 28. So far, there are no signs of demo preparation at the church. Built in 1956, it was initially part of St. Hyacinth Basilica, located about half a mile west on Wolfram Street.
Ground-level construction progress continues for 3605 North Ravenswood in North Center. Everything we need to know about this new residential project is listed on the banner hanging from the construction fence. There will be 52 rental units across the six-story building (five stories plus rooftop access to the sixth-floor amenity deck) with 5,500 square feet of retail space at ground level. Co-developers Stocking Urban and Macon Construction Group, who is also the general contractor, plan to welcome their first tenants in the fall of 2025.
Demolition is underway on an 1870s-era multi-residence at 1317 West Wrightwood Avenue in Lincoln Park. A new permit issued by the City of Chicago back in January of this year allows for the construction of a four-story with basement, four-unit building on the site.
Construction progress continues on the 400 Lake Shore North Tower at the old Chicago Spire development site in Streeterville. Now that the Spire cofferdam has been filled in and excavated, it’s hidden from sight as the tower’s lower floors come into view. Amidst a sea of rebar, the ramp down to the lower parking levels is visible, and there’s a glimpse into the lowest two levels of sub-basement, while the rest of the site has grown even in height to the top of the concrete core.
