Initial details have been revealed for the nation’s deepest diving pool at an undisclosed location in Lake County. Located around 35-40 miles north of The Loop in the nearby suburbs, the multi-pool facility recently began fundraising as design work continues. The team at nonprofit Diveheart is behind the development with local architecture firm Barker Barrios working on the design.
Permits have been issued for the residential conversion of the Our Lady Lourdes School at 4641 N Ashland Avenue in Uptown. We initially covered plans for this late last year as the project became the second to be proposed at the church, sitting near the intersection with W Leland Avenue. The development is being led by Honore Properties with architecture firm Kennedy Mann working on its design.
Updated plans have been revealed for the mixed-use redevelopment of the Hollander Building at 2422 N Milwaukee Avenue in Logan Square. Sitting on the northwest corner of the intersection with W Fullerton Avenue in front of the CTA Blue Line Tracks, the project will replace a surface lot and existing one-story building as well as redevelop the historical property.
An official opening has occurred for the redevelopment of the Ramova Theater at 3518 S Halsted Street in Bridgeport. Located near the intersection with 35th Street, the iconic theater’s interior and exterior have been under construction for nearly two years after new renderings were revealed last year. The $30 million project was led by Baum Revision with a collection of locals and celebrities as well.
An additional $40 million in funding has been announced for the upcoming renovation of Terminal 3 at O’Hare International Airport. We previously covered the renovation nearly a year ago when it originally received $50 million from the 2021 infrastructure bill. Now further dollars have been awarded to the project led by the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) with an undisclosed set of designers and engineers.
