1401 West Devon Avenue

Construction is underway for a new apartment building at 6350 North Glenwood Avenue in Edgewater. The development takes the place of the former Uncommon Ground restaurant at 1401 West Devon Avenue, which was demolished this summer after receiving a demo permit in April of this year. When we dropped by the site in August, we found demo work all but completed, and the crew on site told us construction would begin immediately thereafter. And true to their word, a lot of progress has already been made.

Demolition is mostly complete of the former Uncommon Ground restaurant at 1401 West Devon Avenue in Edgewater. That clears the way for a 12-unit residential development to begin construction. According to Block Club, demolition got started a few weeks ago; all that remains to be cleared from the site is a little bit of rubble, and there’s some foundation remnants to be dug out.
