A demolition permit was issued by the City of Chicago on March 18 to tear down a small retail plaza at 4313 North Lincoln Avenue in Lincoln Square to make room for a proposed residential development by Mangan Builders. They have a pending permit in the Chicago Data Portal for a four-story, 12-unit building on the site, addressed as 4309 North Lincoln.
Exterior completion of the residential project at 3914 North Lincoln Avenue is in sight, as developer and general contractor Longford Design + Construction continues their work in North Center. The project has been topped out for a couple months now, and brick work and glass is mostly in place. Sidewalk canopies have been removed from the construction site, revealing ground-level commercial spaces that look nearly ready for tenants.
A new construction single-family home permitted in December with only surface parking spaces included in the plans now has permission to add an Additional Dwelling Unit at the back of the property. The residence at 3456 North Claremont Avenue in North Center demolished late in 2024 included a garage, so it’s no surprise that a two-car garage will now be included with the new home, along with one residential unit on the second floor. The ADU permit was issued on March 10, with an application date shown of February 14.
A new single-family home nearing completion at 3446 North Oakley Avenue in North Center will soon build an Additional Dwelling Unit to go with the main residence. G Alan Development received a permit on Valentine’s Day to erect a two-story coach house with two parking spaces on the ground level, and an ADU on the second floor.
A new construction permit was issued on February 14 for the property at 1801 West Grace Street in North Center, allowing a five-story, 62-unit residential building to get underway. Led by a North Carolina LLC as developer, the new homes will be nestled between the L and Metra tracks on the south side of Grace Street, next to the small shopping plaza that includes Trader Joe’s and Pet Supplies Plus on Lincoln Avenue.
