Twenty residential units will be set aside as affordable.
Masonry work is nearing completion on a topped-out four-story residential building at 1355 North Western Avenue in the Wicker Park neighborhood.

The City of Chicago has issued an emergency demolition permit for a multi-unit greystone building at 3442 West Jackson Boulevard in East Garfield Park. The demo was necessitated by a September fire that gutted the building, damaging it beyond repair and leaving the remnants too dangerous to remain standing.
Yesterday, we looked at the beginnings of construction for the Kensington School West Loop.
