Work is progressing on the Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park, with the main tower now reaching around one-third of its final height. The Obama Foundation is overseeing the development of this complex, set to include three public buildings: a museum, a forum building, and a new library branch.
The six-story mixed-use building at 613 N Ogden Avenue in West Town continues its ascent, with the street wall now at the fourth level. Developed by Urban Edge Group, the project will yield nine residential units above ground-level retail. The plan also includes a ground-level garage for up to 11 vehicles, accompanied by an elevator.
Construction has officially completed for Inspire West Town, an eight-story mixed-use project located at 670 N May Street (previously under the address 1140 W Erie). The construction, backed by Bond Companies, is currently at the leasing stage, with the majority of the podium structure already completed.
A construction permit has been issued for a new residential development at 2200 N Kildare Avenue in the Hermosa neighborhood. The proposed two-story, two-unit residence will include a basement, front stairs, a rear two-story deck with stairs, a wood fence, and a rear two-car frame garage. This development will take place on a site that was previously vacant. The project’s owner, as listed on the permit, is YKSB LLC.
In collaboration with bKL Architecture, Loukas Development has unveiled a renewed design for the proposed skyscraper at 1300 W Lake Street. The mixed-use structure, a 46-story tower planned for the western portion of Fulton Market, will now stand 537 feet, slightly taller than the original 530-foot proposal.
