Two rows of residential buildings have begun construction, and some have topped out at their full three stories, on the city’s Near West Side. A dozen buildings are being developed here, with permits having been issued for the first eight back in August, and the final four permitted in November. Designed by Axios Architects, the project will deliver 72 dwelling units in total.
Demolition is underway on an L-shaped school building at 1310 South Ashland Avenue on the city’s Near West Side. The former home of Moses Montefiore School until 2016, and later Urban Prairie Waldorf School until its closing in June, the one- and two-story buildings are being cleared away to create space for a new residential development. The demo permit for the school was issued on August 21, with Heneghan Wrecking carrying out demo work.
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.
