A three-story masonry building, the last-standing building of the Jane Addams Homes, is being converted into the National Public Housing Museum on Taylor Street in Little Italy. A joint effort by Related Midwest and the Chicago Housing Authority, the renovation is part of Roosevelt Square Phase 3B which we featured last week.
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.
Roosevelt Square Phase 3B, a 67-unit apartment building from the Chicago Housing Authority and Related Midwest, has topped out in the Little Italy neighborhood. Located at 1002 S Racine Avenue, the six-story building has its windows in place and is now awaiting the start of exterior cladding.
Initial details and funding have been revealed for the second phase of the Lathrop Homes redevelopment situated around 2712 N Hoyne Avenue on the river. Located west of the triple intersection of N Damen Avenue, N Clybourn Avenue, and W Diversey Parkway, this extensive development has been in progress for several years under the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA), in collaboration with Related Midwest and Bickerdike Redevelopment Corp.
Final touches can be seen for the redevelopment of the Edith Spurlock Apartment complex in Lincoln Park. With the recent unveiling of “Sheffield of Lincoln Park,” a new six-story addition providing 80 family units, the complex now contains three total buildings. Sheffield of Lincoln Park sits between two existing buildings at 2640 and 2720 N. Sheffield, both of which were originally built in 1965. The CHA and PIRHL are behind the $150 million redevelopment.
