Foundation excavation is underway now that demolition is complete of an early-1900s frame house at 2307 West Foster Avenue in Lincoln Square. A demolition permit was issued for the property on the 9th of this month; the new construction permit was issued December 10 of 2024. DV Development of Huntley, IL is named as the developer and general contractor.
A new construction permit was issued Friday, January 24, to allow for driving foundation piles that will support a three-story bathhouse at Madison and Morgan Streets in the West Loop. Fulton St. Companies is building the facility for Bathhouse, a Brooklyn, NY company, to occupy. The building replaces a surface parking lot, which earlier this decade was to be replaced by a 10-story condominium development, also under Fulton St.’s leadership.
Concrete is poured and set for the basement of a two-story home at 1821 North Lawndale Avenue in Logan Square. MK Construction & Builders is putting up two units here that were permitted for construction back in July of 2024.
A single Additional Dwelling Unit atop a two-car garage has been permitted for construction at 2219 North Kimball Avenue in the Logan Square neighborhood. The City of Chicago gave permission for the secondary structure on January 22. It will be added to a new construction, two-unit building that received a permit of its own back in May 2022.
Demolition has begun on the former discount furniture store at 1950 West Lawrence Avenue in Ravenswood. The back wall of the structure has been broken through, allowing a clear view from the alley all the way the the front windows of the store’s showroom. Not much progress has been made, but enough to get a small excavator through the back of the building and keep the alley clear.
