Plans have been revealed for a new residential development at 5056 North Ashland Avenue in Ravenswood. Located at the corner of West Carmen Avenue near the southern edge of Andersonville, the project will replace a vacant lot and two single-family homes.
Construction of the five-story residential development at 1950 West Lawrence Avenue in the Ravenswood neighborhood has now reached the fourth floor. There are 12 dwelling units coming here atop retail space and a first-floor garage. The site most recently held a discount furniture store until it was permitted for demolition in January.
Initial details have been revealed for the residential conversion of 4545 N Ravenswood Avenue in Ravenswood. Sitting just south of the intersection with W Wilson Avenue, the existing building faces the Metra tracks and most recently held a fitness center and software company as its tenants. However, as commercial demand wanes, residential increases.
Work continues below street level on the new residential building at 1950 West Lawrence Avenue in Ravenswood. Vista Group Realty is developing up a five-story, 12-unit building here, formerly the site of a terra-cotta faced furniture store, and long before that, a Jewel grocery. That has all been demolished now, and Vista, acting as their own general contractor, has made significant progress on the new structure’s foundation.
Now that the commercial building at 1950 West Lawrence Avenue in Ravenswood no longer exists, foundation work has begun for the five-story residential building that will take its place. Vista Group Realty is delivering 12 units to this site, after purchasing the property in July of last year after it had already been approved for new construction.
