Façade work and window installation is in the home stretch at 1257 West Roosevelt Road, one residential component of the Roosevelt Square development plan on the Near West Side. The six-story building is glazed all around, and only a small portion of the cladding remains to be installed at the rear of the building. Its partner one block west, at 1357 West Roosevelt, is also nearing completion.
Additional funding has been approved by the Chicago Community Development Commission for the next phase of the Lathrop Homes redevelopment around 2712 N Hoyne Avenue. Earlier this year we covered the project when it gained funding approval from the CHA, now an additional $25 million in TIF money is on its way towards full city approval.
Initial massing and density studies have been presented for the potential redevelopment of multiple Cabrini Green sites within the Near North Side. Roughly bound by W Chicago Avenue to the south and W Schiller Street to the north, if fully completed the project will eventually replace multiple vacant lots near downtown.
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.
