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.
A Chicago developer that received permits to build four two-flat buildings on the first block of West 44th Street in Bronzeville in February 2025 got permits to erect three more this week. Greenline Homes is the recipient of the permits, which all show application dates of March 18. They came through just 13 days later on the 31st, with each permit showing a reported cost of $440,144.
The Chicago City Council has approved plans for the residential development at 3746 to 3766 South Michigan Avenue in Bronzeville. Sitting just south of the intersection with East 37th Place, the multi-building project will replace a vacant lot in the quickly growing and changing neighborhood, just north of where a new hotel and museum were recently announced.
