Demolition work has begun on the small blue house at 840 W Lill Avenue in Lincoln Park. Demo contractor Carlos Group is carrying out instructions on a permit issued July 9 to tear down the two-story frame residence and detached garage.
Topping-out ceremonies were held Wednesday, July 17 for 919 West Fulton, the 11-story office building under construction in the Fulton Market District. Less than 10 months after receiving their first permit to start foundation work, Skender and their concrete contractor Adjustable Concrete have reached as high as they’ll go.
A building that housed Happy Village, a fixture for more than 50 years at the corner of Wolcott Avenue and Thomas Street in East Village, is undergoing an expansion and overhaul in West Town. With the bar now closed and the building having changed ownership, a partial demolition and expansion are underway.
A four-story, six-unit apartment building has begun construction at 1624 N Damen Avenue in the Wicker Park neighborhood. A full building permit, issued June 27 of this year, calls for retail space at ground level. Balconies at the front and rear of the building, designed by 360 Design Studio, are also included on the permit. No parking spaces are mentioned.
One month after receiving a permit from the City of Chicago to complete construction, 220 North Ada progress has reached the underside of the fourth level. And on July 8, a permit for Phase 2 was issued for the project’s tower crane. That means once the concrete core has grown a little higher, concrete contractor Adjustable Concrete and GC Clayco will tie the crane into the core and insert a few crane sections into the “tower” segment for sufficient height.
