A Chicago developer landed a pair of new construction permits on October 27th to build residential buildings one block from each other in the Kenwood neighborhood. Hancock Management & Construction Company is the developer and general contractor for the two projects, which have reported construction costs of $450,000 apiece.
A construction permit has been issued to erect a two-story plus basement, two-unit residential building at 6326 South Eberhart Avenue in Woodlawn. The permit came through on October 15, eight months after its application date of February 18, and it includes a reported cost of $420,000. The homes replace a long-vacant mid-block lot.
Permission has been granted by the city to build a three-story plus basement, seven-unit residential building at 2222 West Morse Avenue in the West Rogers Park neighborhood. Issued to Broadview Solutions LLC on October 28, the permit shows an application date of 09/18/2025 and comes through with a reported cost of $986,000.
Construction is underway on the residential replacement for a 1910-era greystone building demolished in August. At 1300 West Newport Avenue on the Southport Corridor, excavation is complete and work at the basement level is ongoing.
Even as some Chicagoans are still coming to grips with the demolition of a vintage church in Ravenswood, another has been slated for demolition and redevelopment. In the Logan Square neighborhood, two demolition permits were issued on October 28 to raze the closed church at 2028 North Richmond Street and its adjoining school building at 2018 North Richmond.
