A new construction permit has been issued to build a four-story, 14-unit residential building at 1839 North Dayton Street in Lincoln Park. The development replaces a trio of residential buildings that all received demolition permits in 2023 and have since been razed. Some excavation work on the old foundations will be the next order of business before digging out the basement of the new building.
Grade-level foundation work continues to progress for the residential development at 537 West Drummond Place in Lincoln Park. Tucked in behind the recently renovated Hotel Covent on the 2600 block of North Clark Street, the seven-story, 84-unit building is replacing a surface parking lot utilized by the United States Postal Service facility next door.
Demolition work at 2125 North Racine Avenue in Lincoln Park has laid waste to all but the foundation of the former multi-residence building here. Soon to be replaced by a new three-story two-flat development, the masonry structure received a demolition permit on November 21 of this year, with Builder Luxury assigned the task of razing the building.
Plans have been revealed for the residential conversion of the top floor of the building at 2156 N Clybourn Avenue in Lincoln Park. Sitting on the corner with N Southport Avenue, the wedge-shaped building currently contains vacant office space on the second floor and multiple retail spots on the ground level.
Five new construction permits for single-family homes were issued by the City of Chicago over a one-week period earlier this month. Located on the site of the demolished Lincoln Park Hospital (Grant Hospital before an ownership and name change in the 1990s) at 550 West Webster Avenue, the five new homes join two others already in progress, and together they’ll form the Grant Place Residences when completed. Lincoln Park Hospital closed in 2008, and was permitted for demolition on June 6, 2012.
