A pair of recent permits issued by the City of Chicago will allow Addition Dwelling Units for properties located in the Wicker Park and Southport Corridor neighborhoods. Chicago has been nearing a resolution to ease the process of ADU approvals, but the measure was delayed at last month’s City Council meeting.
A demolition permit was issued on June 27 to tear down a single-story masonry building at 2341 West St Paul Avenue in the Wicker Park neighborhood. That demolition will clear space for a pair of multi-unit residential buildings that were permitted separately back in May. Tir Conaill Concrete is named as the demo contractor, at a reported cost of $25,000.
The first of a pair of three-story with basement, two-unit residences has been permitted for the 2300 block of West St. Paul Avenue in Wicker Park. The entity of 2341-43 W Saint Paul Ave LLC is named as the property owner. They applied for two permits on April 29, with the first approval for 2343 West St. Paul coming through on May 12. The second permit, for 2341 West St. Paul, is still pending in the Chicago Data Portal.
The first permit has been issued by the City of Chicago to renovate the John Paul II Catholic Center of Polish Culture at 1317 North Ashland Avenue in Wicker Park. The building is owned by the Polish Catholic Church, and Base 3 Development is doing the renovation work, according to Block Club. City council approved the alterations in March. Now home to five apartments on the upper levels with religious meeting space on the first floor, renovation work will transform the building to residential use only.
Plans have been unveiled for the potential redevelopment of 1550 N Milwaukee Avenue in Wicker Park. Located near the six-corner intersection of N Damen Avenue and W North Avenue, the project will preserve the two existing buildings, which most recently housed Lubinski Furniture on the ground floor with artist studios above.
