A Schaumburg developer received permits to construct five three-flat residential buildings in North Lawndale on March 12. Using the entity of Missing Middle Chicago LLC, Alteza Group LLC will fill four vacant lots with the five buildings spread out over a six-block area of the neighborhood. All five permits were filed for between February 2 and February 10 of this year.
A pair of tower crane permits came through for Chicago on March 12, a small sign that this could be a busier year for large construction projects in the city than what we’ve seen the past couple years. Both cranes will erect residential buildings: one on the Near South Side, and one in the West Loop.
Excavation has begun for a three-story plus basement, two-unit residential building at 2130 South May Street in Pilsen. Included in the task is the removal of old foundations from the previous structure demolished in 2017. The most recent Google images of the property show the lot overgrow with vegetation, hiding the concrete remnants that need to be removed before the new basement can be dug out.
A new residential building will fill a gap in the street wall on West 22nd Place in the Pilsen Neighborhood. 1830 West 22nd will be a four-story, five-unit masonry structure. A permit came through on February 25 with a $1 million reported cost, 40 days after its application date of December 15.
Construction has quickly transitioned from foundation work to verticality for the residential building at 227 West Chicago Avenue in River North. Concrete cores are just about eye level with the adjacent Chicago elevated platform that abuts the construction site to the west. The cores are at the second level now, on their way ultimately to ten stories.
