The City of Chicago issued a new construction permit on the 28th of September allowing a four-story building at 4911 North Pulaski Road in Albany Park. R.P. Fox & Associates is the recipient of the permit, which they applied for on January 31, 2025. It came through 605 days later with a reported cost of $362,925. Stellar Performance Inc is named in the permit as the general contractor.
A six-unit residential building was permitted for construction by the City of Chicago on August 7 for the property at 4852 North Sawyer Avenue in Albany Park. The permit came through with a reported cost of $1.25 million 155 days after its application start date of March 5. The construction type, whether frame or masonry, is not noted.
The Chicago City Council has approved the mixed-use redevelopment of the historic fireproof warehouse at 3240 West Lawrence Avenue in Albany Park. Sitting west of the intersection with North Sawyer Avenue, we last covered the project in February when it received support from the local alderwoman for its rezoning.
Much of the masonry work and glass installation has been completed for a residential building at 3318 West Montrose Avenue in the Albany Park neighborhood. At ground level, plywood still covers window openings for future retail spaces facing south along Montrose and a three-bedroom dwelling unit that will face west. Inside, an abundance of visible wood studs indicates interior progress is still in its early stages.
Concrete masonry units for the stair and elevator cores have risen on the construction site for Lawrence Gateway, the 41-unit residential property from MAS Ventures and architecture firm Wight & Company. Both cores, one for the stairway on the east edge of the building and one for the combination stairway/elevator in the center of the development, are topped out. Now general contractor LG Group is using cinder blocks to form the first level of the five-story structure.
