The residential development at 224 South Ashland Avenue on Chicago’s Near West Side has leveled up to the second floor of construction. Developer and general Contractor 4Corners Real Estate will take the building up to five stories, delivering 56 new rental units to the neighborhood four blocks east of the United Center.
The construction permit has been granted for a residential development in the Tri-Taylor neighborhood we told you about last month. The permit was issued on February 3 for 801 South Western Avenue, allowing 4Corners Real Estate to build a five-story, 36-unit building with 18 outdoor parking spaces and ground-floor retail. 4Corners will be their own general contractor, at an estimated construction cost of $500,000, according to the permit, which shows an application date of July 16, 2024.
Foundation work has begun at 224 South Ashland Avenue on the Near West Side. Here, 4Corners Real Estate is developing a five-story, 56-unit apartment building on the site of the former home of Loop Lawyers. That structure, at 220 South Ashland, got a demolition permit on April 14, 2022, with Taylor Excavating performing the demo work. A new construction permit was issued January 6, 2023, which, after a bit of a delay, was reinstated on February 22 of this year.
Foundation work is underway for a five-story, 50-unit residential building at 1440 W Fillmore Street in the Little Italy neighborhood. The property received its New Construction permit from the City of Chicago on May 15 of this year.
