The first piles were driven into the ground at 1010 South Wells Street in the South Loop on Thursday, marking the beginning of the Riverline residential development. Eschewing caissons, those piles will provide the foundation for this 21-story, 386-unit building from CMK Properties. 1010 South Wells is the first, and northernmost, parcel to be developed for the multi-structure plan.
Two permits were issued by the City of Chicago on January 2 to address damage caused by a fire at the Tapestry Fellowship Church in Irving Park. Located at 3824 West Irving Park Road, across from Independence Park, the fire occurred on the morning of December 22, 2023. It started in the cafe and damaged most of the building’s lower level and caused heavy smoke damage to the sanctuary above, according to a post on the church’s Facebook page the day after the fire.
The second of two adjacent five-story Logan Square residential projects has begun construction at Washtenaw and Fullerton. A 15-unit building is underway at 2357 North Washtenaw Avenue, which sits right across the street from its sibling project at 2354 North Washtenaw, and it’s starting to see brickwork and concrete block set for the first floor. Wilmot Properties, as they are next door, is the general contractor and developer here.
On Monday a demolition permit was issued by the City of Chicago for the single-story commercial building at 1950 West Lawrence Avenue in Ravenswood. The long-time home of a discount furniture store, the property is slated for redevelopment into a five-story, 12-unit residential building.
Window installation has begun at 3951 North Wayne Avenue, the four-story apartment development coming to Lake View. Located next to the Lakeview Station USPS office, the project broke ground in the spring and topped out in the fall, so this milestone moves it that much closer to getting to work on interiors. This neighborhood lies between Wrigleyville to the south, and Graceland West to the north.
