Two three-flats permitted for construction four days apart will fill a vacant lot on the northeast corner of South Maplewood Avenue and West 48th Street in Brighton Park. The identical permits were issued to Esperanza Properties LLC with reported costs of $200,000 apiece. Ramon Contreras is named as the architect of record, with Pine Innovation Group Inc handling general contracting duties.
The 2026-2027 Construction Season is underway at the United Center, with teammates McHugh Construction and McHugh Concrete getting their game on for the first phase of The 1901 Project. Just called up specifically for this series is Stalworth Underground, whose rigs are on site drilling and filling caissons for a three-story mixed-use commercial building that will contain parking, retail spaces, and a new loading area, all covered by an occupiable rooftop deck.
Now that they’ve topped out Vista Property Group’s 32-story residential development, Skender and McHugh Concrete have lowered the boom, along with the rest of the tower crane, at 370 North Morgan in the West Loop. Known henceforth as Pearl Fulton Market, Vista and the contracting team celebrated its topping out last month, staying on schedule for a 2027 opening.
The first of two three-flat residences was permitted on May 5 for the southeast corner of South Calumet Avenue and East 41st Street in the Bronzeville neighborhood. The issued permit is for the building just off the intersection, at 4104 South Calumet Avenue. It is to be a three-story, three-unit masonry structure; no basement is mentioned. A rear stairway will connect all three floors at the rear of the building, with decks on the top two levels and a patio in the back yard. A three-car garage will be erected on the alley off 41st Street, which runs below the passing Green Line elevated tracks.
A long-vacant lot on the southwest corner of South Carpenter Street and West 19th Place in Pilsen has been permitted for five residential units. Unimproved and only used for parking as far back as Google Street View allows us to see, 1924 South Carpenter will be a three-story plus basement structure. Its permit was issued on April 28 with a reported cost of $600,000.
