Updated plans will be reviewed by the Chicago Plan Commission for the mixed-use development at 3950 N Damen Avenue and 3959 N Lincoln Avenue in North Center. Located on the intersection with W Irving Park Road, the two site project has been in the works for over a year and has now been slightly scaled back.
The four-story portion of the Westhaven Park IID project on the south end of the construction site has reached its final height on the Near West Side. We showed you the topped-out 12-story tower back in February; now, both portions are at final height and have been enclosed with windows. This development replaces an empty grass lot bounded by Maypole Avenue, Damen Avenue, and Lake Street. Its construction is running concurrent with the CTA Damen Green Line station across the street.
Zion Woods, a project for affordable housing, has begun construction on a nine-acre parcel next to Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Deerfield. Initiated by the church over a decade ago, the development aims to address the increasing need for affordable housing in the area. The project, which saw its groundbreaking ceremony recently, is expected to be ready for occupancy by mid-2025.
Construction has reached its full height for Westhaven Park IID, located at 1959 W Lake Street in the Near West Side. Situated at the corner of N Damen Avenue and W Lake Street, this mixed-use building is adjacent to the upcoming CTA Damen Green Line station. The project is a joint venture involving Brinshore Development, The Michaels Organization, and the Chicago Housing Authority, with architectural design by LBBA Architects.
Facade work is advancing toward completion at The Foglia Residences at Chicago Lighthouse, a nine-story mixed-use development located at 1134 S Wood Street in the Illinois Medical District. Replacing a former parking lot, the development is a collaboration between Brinshore Development and The Chicago Lighthouse, an organization focused on providing affordable housing primarily for the visually impaired and veterans.
