Construction progress has reached the sixth floor at 566 West Van Buren in the city’s West Loop neighborhood. That’s where Clark Construction and Adjustable Concrete Construction are erecting a 12-story, 199-unit apartment building for Riverside Investment & Development. The three concrete cores for stairways and elevators have risen about eight stories high.
Details have been revealed for a new residential development at 1133 West Kinzie Street in the West Loop. The proposal would occupy a thin, block-long site bound by North Racine Avenue to the west and North May Street to the east, butting up against the Metra tracks to the south. Efforts are being led by local developer Range Group.
Plans are moving forward for the upcoming mixed-use development at 2315 West Grand Avenue after being approved by the Chicago City Council. The proposal is located mid-block between North Oakley Boulevard and North Western Avenue in West Town, and is set to replace a long-term vacant lot.
Two demolition permits for the 1000 block of West Jackson Boulevard in the West Loop were issued by the city of the first day of July. Those allow Mavrek Development to begin clearing a half-block swath of properties for their planned and approved 25-story residential tower at 1000-1022 West Jackson.
Demolition of a single-story, L-shaped commercial building at 1280 West Washington Boulevard in the West Loop has progressed from the rear of the structure through to the front wall. Demo contractor Precision Excavation received a permit to raze the structure on June 3 with a reported cost of $80,000. They’re tearing the property down to clear the site for a condominium development from ZSD Corp that gained approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals earlier this month.
