1619 W Lawrence Avenue

Construction is underway on a small, long-vacant lot at 1619 West Lawrence Avenue in Uptown. After receiving a permit to build on July 23, McNea and Sons Construction has blocked in the first floor of the soon-to-be three-floor building, set to hold two residential units atop ground-level retail space.

A new construction permit was issued July 23 to put a residential building on a small, overgrown lot at 1619 W Lawrence Avenue in Uptown. Located mid-block just west of the intersection of Ashland and Lawrence Avenues, the site has been fenced off for years without any activity. A three-flat previously on the property was demolished back in 2011.
