Financing has been secured and a groundbreaking date announced for the upcoming mixed use development at 1549 N Fremont Street in the Near North Side. We recently covered the project’s approval process that culminated in construction permits being issued earlier this month. With those in hand, we now also have an official groundbreaking timeline as well.
Initial details have been revealed for the residential conversion of 65 E Wacker Place in The Loop. Located west of the intersection with N Michigan Avenue and around a block from the Chicago River, the new plans aren’t the first time a conversion has been proposed for the nearly 100 year old structure.
The Chicago City Council has approved the residential conversion of the former Maybelline headquarters at 5920 N Ridge Avenue in Edgewater. Efforts for the project are being led by Ernst Development and Envoi Partners, who announced their plans earlier this year and submitted for rezoning in July.
The Chicago Plan Commission has approved the community center at 6020 S King Drive in Washington Park. Set to partially replace a vacant lot on the southwest intersection with E 60th Street, news on the project broke over a year ago and has since been reviewed by the community. The project is being led by Sunshine Gospel Ministries and the Chicago Neighborhood Initiative.
Further details have been revealed for the mixed-use development at 1310 S Ashland Avenue in the Near West Side. Bounded by W Hastings Street to the south and W 13th Street to the north, we recently covered its partial permit approval which can be found here. Efforts for the project are being led by a local developer, with Axios Architects working on its design.
