Edgewater

A condominium development at 5428 North Winthrop Avenue in Edgewater is nearing exterior completion ahead of its spring unit availability. Twelve condos are under construction here, replacing a 1905-built frame residence permitted for demolition in April 2025. The east façade of the building is all business now, while finishing materials continue on the sides as well as the rear, where suspended balconies are already in place.

Construction has reached the fifth and final floor for a 50-unit residential development at 5354 North Sheridan Road in the Edgewater neighborhood. Block work surrounds the site, the bulk of which fronts West Balmoral Avenue on the north side of the property. The exterior will be finished in light-colored panels and dark accents.

A local developer has received permission to build the first of two multi-unit residential buildings on the 6100 block of North Kenmore Avenue in the Edgewater neighborhood. 4 Star Builders landed approval for a five-story, 40-unit project at 6143 North Kenmore Avenue on February 18. The permit, which comes with a reported cost of $5 million for the work to be done, was applied for on December 11 of last year.
