Structural work has reached full height for the 27-story 868 N Wells Street in Near North Side, replacing a former low-rise brick building that was demolished last year. The developer of this mixed-use tower is JDL, who has planned for 411 units and 12,000 square feet of retail.
A construction permit has been granted for a new mixed-use development at 3545 W Belmont Avenue in Avondale. The proposed four-story structure will feature commercial space on the ground floor and four residential units across the second to fourth floors. This development will replace what is currently a vacant lot, with front balconies, a basement, trash enclosure, and a rear two-vehicle garage included in the plans. The project is owned by Kazimierz Dojka.
With the exterior removed, significant renovations are underway at 679 N Michigan Avenue along Magnificent Mile. The structure was formerly an Apple Store, then subsequently the canvas for a mural titled “Rapt on The Mile” by Nick Cave and Bob Faust. This third chapter for the four-story building will be a retail redevelopment by Nick Canellis and will span four levels. According to an article by Crain’s Chicago Business, H&M will be the occupying tenant.
Since our last update, the two-story retail development at 113 E Oak Street in Near North Side has completed construction. Spanning 5,050 square feet, the new building was developed by 113 E Oak Street LLC with an equal distribution of space between its two floors. The first and second floors offer approximately 2,600 and 2,500 square feet, respectively.
Construction for a new mixed-use development at 1043 N Rush Street in Near North Side is now above grade. The two-story project, led by L3 Capital, has enlisted GREC Architects for its design. The exterior will have tan brick cladding, dark metal accents, and arched street-level bays.
