General contractor Spec Development is making progress on a new residential building at 2654 North Greenview Avenue in Lincoln Park. The City of Chicago issued a new construction permit for the property on March 8 of this year, but the demolition permit wasn’t issued until April 12, so work appears to be moving rather quickly on the double-lot site.

Permit issued to build three-story residential building on side yard in Lincoln Park

7:30 am on August 17, 2024 By Daniel Schell

The City of Chicago has issued a new construction permit for the property at 2702 North Greenview Avenue in Lincoln Park. The space currently is a greenery-filled side yard, likely belonging to the home next door at 2700 North Greenview before the empty lot was sold, with a concrete slab for parking still at the rear of the property. There are no permits for this address in the Chicago Data Portal dating back to 2006, so it looks like this lot has been empty for a good while. There is also no indication to date that the home at 2700 will be demolished as part of this development.
