Site prep and early foundation work have commenced for an upcoming senior community center at roughly 4711 South Calumet Avenue in Bronzeville. Sitting just south of the intersection with East 47th Street, the upcoming development will replace half of a large vacant lot just steps from the CTA Green Line’s 47th station.
Plans have been revealed for the first phase of a new mixed-use development at roughly 3900 South State Street in Bronzeville. The multi-lot project centers around the intersection with West Pershing Road, replacing long-term vacant lots that previously held the Stateway Gardens homes. Efforts are being led by developer Zeb McLaurin.
In Bronzeville at 515 East Bowen Avenue, a corner parcel formed with a perpendicular alley, a local LLC has received permission to fill a vacant lot with a three-story, three-unit residential building. Landex Holding Company LLC got a new construction permit on May 28, 34 days after its application start date of April 24, and with it comes a reported cost of $440,000.
The first of two three-flat residences was permitted on May 5 for the southeast corner of South Calumet Avenue and East 41st Street in the Bronzeville neighborhood. The issued permit is for the building just off the intersection, at 4104 South Calumet Avenue. It is to be a three-story, three-unit masonry structure; no basement is mentioned. A rear stairway will connect all three floors at the rear of the building, with decks on the top two levels and a patio in the back yard. A three-car garage will be erected on the alley off 41st Street, which runs below the passing Green Line elevated tracks.
Additional details have been revealed as permits have been issued for the upcoming residential development at 545 East Oakwood Boulevard in Bronzeville. Sitting on the corner with South Vincennes Avenue near Mandrake Park, the proposal will replace the existing Holy Angels School building, which has been closed for nearly a decade.
