Uptown

A condominium development that the 47th Ward office signed off on this past winter has been approved for construction in Uptown. 47th Ward Alderman Matt Martin expressed his support for 4447 North Ashland Avenue in his weekly newsletter in February. In endorsing the project, he noted:

“The applicant has agreed to incorporate multiple sustainable features, including EV chargers, bike parking, and a partial green roof. In response to community feedback, the applicants redesigned their original proposal by increasing the number of units from 6 to 8, and by revising the building material to brick that matches the nearby buildings.”

The entity of 4447 Ashland Corp, registered to an address in Lemont, received the permit on October 30, 71 days after its application start date of August 20. It comes through with a reported cost of $2.8 million.

A foundation permit has been issued by the City of Chicago to begin construction on a new residential building at 4920-4924 North Sheridan Road in the Uptown neighborhood. The project was approved by City Council nearly two full years ago, but the foundation permit didn’t hit the data portal until July 16 of this year. Ninety-nine days later, it has come through with a reported cost (for foundations only) of $100,000.
