A renovation project is underway at 6219 North Clark Street in Edgewater, where an existing second-floor storage area for the existing three-story, masonry, mixed-use condominium located at the address is being converted into a two-bedroom residential unit. This addition to the building was approved on January 16, and has a budget of $150,000.
A groundbreaking date has been announced for the upcoming residential development at 5354 N Sheridan Road in Edgewater. Sitting on the intersection with W Balmoral Avenue, the new building would replace the famed Wing Hoe restaurant and its surrounding parking lot right by the lakefront. Developer Tempus Properties is behind the proposal with 2R/Z Architecture working on its design.
Initial details have been revealed for a residential development at 5451 N Ravenswood Avenue in Edgewater. Located just south of the intersection with W Catalpa Avenue, the new proposal will replace a large vacant lot at the westernmost edge of the neighborhood. Developer Sigma Builders Inc. is working with local firm IURO & Associates on its design.
A new four-story residential building has received a permit in the Edgewater neighborhood. This eight-unit structure, developed by PFH Homes, will replace a vacant lot. According to the Edgewater Historical Society, a late-19th-century, two-story frame residence once stood at the site, but was demolished in 2007.
The Chicago City Council has approved the final landmark designation for the Epworth Church at 5153 N Kenmore Avenue in Edgewater. Located south of the intersection with W Berwyn Avenue near Foster Beach, demolition efforts last year by a developer trying to construct residential on the site set-off the landmark process. Now the City Council has officially protected the structure which does not close it off to redevelopment opportunities.
