An apartment building at 3202 North Racine Avenue has risen to its ultimate height in Lake View. Replacing a now-demolished BP gas station on the northwest corner of Racine and Belmont Avenues, the five-story, 27-unit project is being delivered by Exemplary Builders, who are both the developer and general contractor.
Construction is underway for a new apartment building at 6350 North Glenwood Avenue in Edgewater. The development takes the place of the former Uncommon Ground restaurant at 1401 West Devon Avenue, which was demolished this summer after receiving a demo permit in April of this year. When we dropped by the site in August, we found demo work all but completed, and the crew on site told us construction would begin immediately thereafter. And true to their word, a lot of progress has already been made.
A two-unit residential building is in the midst of construction at 1024 West 19th Street in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood in the Lower West Side Community Area. The City of Chicago issued a construction permit for the site on February 14 of this year. It is replacing an empty lot bordered on two sides by alleyways. Real estate records show the lot last sold in June 2023 for $185,000; estimated cost for the new construction is $436,000.
Demolition is mostly complete of the former Uncommon Ground restaurant at 1401 West Devon Avenue in Edgewater. That clears the way for a 12-unit residential development to begin construction. According to Block Club, demolition got started a few weeks ago; all that remains to be cleared from the site is a little bit of rubble, and there are some foundation remnants to be dug out.
Two residential units are being built in a new construction three-story building at 3252 North Racine Avenue in the Lake View neighborhood. Masonry work covers the exterior of the first floor as it reaches the underside of the second level.
