A foundation is being dug out, and piles have been driven into the ground, for the new residential development at 4529 North Western Avenue in Lincoln Square. Two structures with dwelling units and commercial spaces at 4529 and 4531 were demolished in October of last year to clear the site for the project. Western Front LLC, an entity registered in Buffalo Grove, is the developer.
A demolition permit has been issued for a modest single-story residence at 1735 West Grand Avenue in West Town. That tear down could mean construction is imminent for a 32-unit apartment building planned for the lot spanning 1735 through 1747. Two buildings that were home to the AmTab manufacturing Company next door were permitted for demolition in August 2017. Those lots have been vacant since demo work was completed.
A new construction permit was issued by the City of Chicago on April 7th to build a single-family home at 2222 North Southport Avenue in Lincoln Park. The entity of “2 x 4 N Southport LLC” is the recipient of the granted permission, allowing them to erect a two-story with basement home next to Clover Park. The application for the permit is dated April 4, an incredibly fast turnaround, and the reported cost is $910,000.
A vintage two-story frame residence in Edgewater is being torn down and replaced with a four-story, 12-unit development. Real estate records show the 1905-built home at 5428 North Winthrop Avenue sold early this year for $1.110 million.
Five residential units have been permitted to replace an 1890s home at 1942 North Orchard Street in Lincoln Park. The previous structure was torn down last fall, with the site marketed as a redevelopment opportunity. After demolition, the double lot sold in January for $4.2 million to Swan Property Development of Orland Park, who will now erect a four-story with basement building here.
