A property owner in Ravenswood/Lincoln Square received a permit last week to tear down a garage and replace it with an Additional Dwelling Unit in a coach house. Ambala Holding LLC, which has owned the two-story, multi-unit building at 2203 West Giddings Street since purchasing it in 2019, got permission on April 17 for the ADU.
With foundation work and the basement level set, progress has moved to the first floor for the three-story, six-unit building at 4317 North Paulina Street in Ravenswood. The property, which lies in the northern panhandle of the Lake View Community Area, got its construction permit back in September 2023, but work didn’t get underway until demolition of a 1905-built greystone on the site was demolished in October of last year.
Construction progress is beginning to show above the fence line for the residential building at 4913 North Damen Avenue in Ravenswood. Developer Heffernan Builders received permission in November to erect a four-story, four-unit building on the site where they demolished the previous residence.
The City of Chicago issued a demolition permit on February 18 for 4943 North Damen Avenue, a single-story masonry commercial building in the Ravenswood neighborhood. Once that building out of the way, construction can begin on the forthcoming residential replacement for the site, for which a new permit is still pending in the Chicago Data Portal.
The first permit to build on the site of the former Ravenswood Presbyterian Church at 4300 North Hermitage Avenue in Ravenswood hit the Chicago Data Portal on January 20. Addressed as 4304 North Hermitage, this is the first of an expected six homes for the site, which begins at the corner with West Cullom Avenue and occupies 4300 through 4318.
