A demolition permit was issued by the City of Chicago on September 23 for a frame multi-unit residence at 1313 West Wrightwood Avenue in Lincoln Park. According to that permit, Precision Excavation will be the contractor in charge of tearing down the home. In its place, there is a pending permit for the construction of a four-story, three-unit building on the site.
A single-story former CVS store at Lincoln Avenue, Armitage Avenue, and Sedgwick Street in Lincoln Park is being demolished as we speak, with Precision Excavation doing the honors. They received a demolition permit from the City of Chicago on August 22. Barrett Homes will soon begin construction here on a four-story, six-unit condominium development to be addressed as 405 West Armitage Avenue. The new building will replace the lost CVS retail space with two retail spaces: one will have entry at 403 West Armitage, and the other at 1952 North Sedgwick.
Construction has begun for the 52-unit 3605 North Ravenswood residential development in Lake View. Located on the northeast corner of the intersection connecting Addison Street, Ravenswood Avenue, and Lincoln Avenue, the six-story building is being developed by Macon Construction (also the general contractor) and Stocking Urban. Designs by Hirsch MPG call for the sixth floor to serve as an amenity deck, with the ground floor holding two commercial spaces. There will be 12 off-street parking spaces on the alley off Ravenswood.
A demolition permit was issued August 1 for the former Fast Track restaurant at 629 West Lake Street in the West Loop. That should clear the way to realize the pending permit for an eight-story, 49-unit apartment building designed by Axios Architects.
Last week, Precision Excavation began demolishing the two-story mixed-use brick building at 4634 N Western Avenue in Lincoln Square, clearing the way for a residential development to begin construction. The new project by the Macon Construction Group has been approved, though not yet permitted, and will see a new six-story building link to the existing four-story structure at 4642 N Western Avenue.
