Ravenswood

A three-unit residential building at 4928 North Damen Avenue in Ravenswood is topped out, bricked up, and close to exterior completion. Many of the windows have been installed on the south side of the structure, but sliding glass doors and windows at the front are not yet in place. Around back, windows only appear on the second floor, with ground-level and the third floor yet to be installed. None of the glass is in place for the basement level of the three-story building.

The first two single-family homes on the site of the former Ravenswood Presbyterian Church have begun construction. The only two residences approved to date, 4304 North Hermitage got permission on March 12, and 4302 North Hermitage came through on April 21. Each carries with it a reported cost of an even $1,000,000. The first permit waited in the Chicago Data Portal for 51 days from its application start date of January 20, while 4302 waited just 15 days for its permit.

A new condominium development has topped out at three stories at 4317 North Paulina Street in the Ravenswood neighborhood. Brickwork has been rising with elevation progress since the project began, so most of the exterior masonry work is complete. Front terraces at all three levels have taken shape. None of the glass installation is underway yet.
