On Monday a demolition permit was issued by the City of Chicago for the single-story commercial building at 1950 West Lawrence Avenue in Ravenswood. The long-time home of a discount furniture store, the property is slated for redevelopment into a five-story, 12-unit residential building.
Window installation has begun at 3951 North Wayne Avenue, the four-story apartment development coming to Lake View. Located next to the Lakeview Station USPS office, the project broke ground in the spring and topped out in the fall, so this milestone moves it that much closer to getting to work on interiors. This neighborhood lies between Wrigleyville to the south, and Graceland West to the north.
A new construction permit has been issued to allow for a 36-unit apartment building on the northeast corner of Clark Street and Leland Avenue in Uptown. Using the address of 4713 North Clark, the City of Chicago released the permit on January 6, 2025. The residential development replaces a single-story masonry building most recently home to Byline Bank. That structure was permitted for demolition in February 2022, then demolished in January of 2023.
The steel skeleton is taking shape for a new parish center at the Church of Our Saviour in Lincoln Park. The church began demolition of the 1860s-era parish hall in July after receiving permission to tear it down it on May 13. Church of Our Saviour is working with Care for Friends, a community partner, on the new addition.
Crain’s Chicago Business has reported that the property on which the historic Holy Angels School in Bronzeville has stood for more than a century has been put back on the market, potentially saving the building from demolition. A pending construction permit with an application date of November 2, 2023 calls for a four-story, 48-unit residential development on the site, which would lead to the empty structure being demolished.
