566 West Van Buren

Site prep is underway for construction of the new residential project at 566 West Van Buren Street in the West Loop. Developer Riverside Investment & Development and general contractor Clark Construction scored three big permits in March, including caissons, tower crane, and the full build, and with work expected to begin in the middle of this month, tearing up the asphalt parking lot and potholing caissons now fits perfectly within that schedule.

A tower crane permit was issued for the residential building at 566 West Van Buren Street in the West Loop on March 12. Of course, construction can’t begin with just the permission for a crane. But not to worry. Last week, both the foundation/superstructure permit and the full building permit came through the data portal, allowing work to begin on the project from Riverside Investment & Development.

A pair of pending permits in the Chicago Data Portal give reason for hope that 566 West Van Buren is about to come to life. The residential project in the West Loop from Riverside Investment & Development stalled after it appeared ready to kick off construction back in 2022.
