A new construction permit has been issued for the property at 3456 North Claremont Avenue in North Center. Located on the southwest corner of Claremont and Cornelia Avenues, the new build takes the place of a two-story frame residence torn down in December. That home, which real estate records show was built in 1890, sold in August for $625,000.
A three-story, two-unit residential building is under construction and topped out at 1739 North Whipple Street in the Humboldt Park neighborhood. The homes are less than two blocks away from the northern edge of Humboldt Park and its myriad of recreational activities; they replace one of two side-by-side grass lots that served as side yards for neighboring homes.
A new construction permit was issued by the City of Chicago on December 12 to build a new three-flat at 2616 West Haddon Avenue in the Humboldt Park neighborhood. The long-time owner of a single-family home here is responsible for the new development. The permit application was filed on October 28, and has an estimated construction cost of $500,000.
Construction progress is up to the second floor at Wicker Park Place, the latest residential project from developer/general contractor Wicker Park Apartments. Located at 1504 West Haddon Avenue, the building replaces a long-vacant surface lot along North Milwaukee Avenue between Wicker Park and Noble Square in West Town.
A second three-flat has been permitted to begin construction on an empty lot at Pershing Road and Lake Park Avenue in the Oakland Community Area. The City of Chicago issued the permit on December 31, allowing for a three-story, three-unit building at 3900 South Lake Park Avenue. On November 26, the first permit for this lot was issued for 3902 S0uth Lake Park Avenue, also a three-story, three-unit building with identical specs.
