Exterior renovation can be seen making headway at Carman Hall, located at 60 E 32nd Street within the Illinois Institute of Technology campus in Bronzeville. Originally designed by the famed German architect Ludgwig Mies van Der Rohe, the nine-story dormitory building was completed in 1955. Recently, the midcentury residential building sat unused and in need of repair.
Structural work has reached full height for a new amenity clubhouse, located within the Prairie Shores apartment complex in Bronzeville. Nested between two of the apartment towers, the building will replace former surface parking and reside under the address 2937 S Martin Luther King Drive.
This week, a construction permit received approval for a new six-unit residential building located at 4040 S Indiana Avenue in Bronzeville. The property is currently occupied by a vacant lot, residing just north of the intersection of Indiana & 41st Street. The filing is listed under the owner Immobilaire Western LLC, and did not indicate the planned number of floors.
A caisson permit has been issued for a new 10-story mid-rise, known as 43Green, located at 4308 S Calumet Avenue in Bronzeville. This mixed-use development, co-planned by The Habitat Company and P3 Markets, will offer 5,000 square feet of commercial space, along with 99 apartments on the above floors. Of these units, 50 will be designated as the affordable, while the remaining residences will be market rate. Layouts range from studios up through two-bedrooms.
Construction can now be seen rising above grade for a two-story clubhouse addition to Bronzeville‘s Prairie Shores apartments. Nestled on the site of a former parking lot between Prairie Shores’ 2901 and 2951 towers, the new structure will be addressed as 2937 S Martin Luther King Drive. The development is part of a broader plan to renovate the five-building complex, which involves the makeover of 1,675 units, existing common spaces, and landscaping.
