Demolition work has begun at 1125 W Loyola Avenue in the Rogers Park neighborhood. That’s the address of Centennial Forum, on the campus of Loyola University Chicago. The two-story building served as event space for the school.
Façade work continues at the Advocate Illinois Masonic Center for Advanced Care western expansion in Lake View. At 900 W Nelson Street, Turner Construction topped out the project in February, and took the tower crane down in May.
Foundation work is underway after the completion of demolition at 1450 W School Street in Lake View. The two-unit residential building, permitted by the City of Chicago on April 26, will include a detached two-car garage, plus two wood decks; one atop the garage, and one at the rear of the first floor.
The Chicago Spire cofferdam, idle since 2008 after the 150-story skyscraper’s construction came to a halt, is getting a bit of a hair cut. Thanks to 400 Lake Shore, the 72-story residential tower now being built on the site, the top “ring” of the cofferdam is being excavated and removed as part of the new tower’s foundation.
Construction progress has risen to the second level for a new residential development at 3914 N Lincoln Avenue in North Center. The five-story, 68-unit apartment building from developer and general contractor Longford Construction received its foundation permit on August 18 of last year, followed by the full building permit on November 1, 2023.
