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.
Plans are moving forward for the residential conversion of the historic fireproof warehouse at 3240 West Lawrence Avenue in Albany Park. The five-story building is located just west of the intersection with North Sawyer Avenue, a few steps from the CTA Brown Line Kimball station. The project has now received approval from local Alderwoman Rodriguez.
Foundation work is underway on Lawrence Gateway, a residential development at 2923 West Lawrence Avenue in Albany Park’s Ravenswood Manor neighborhood.
