Bucktown

As construction work at ground level continues on the residential development at 1880 North Milwaukee Avenue in Bucktown, a permit has been issued to change a few details on the original project. On July 18, the city issued permission that the development team had applied for on April 30 to accommodate a larger transformer pad per a ComEd request. Revisions were also addressed for the first-floor garage and bike room, including the reconfiguration of parking spaces due to the larger transformer. The elevator shaft and an overhead door were also revised via the same permit.

Permission has been granted for the construction of a three-story with basement, two-unit residential building at 2246 West Lyndale Street in Bucktown. Issued on March 4, with an application date showing December 20, 2024, the permit follows on the heels of a demolition permit issued on February 21 to remove the existing home from the site. Real estate records show that residence, built in 1973, sold in November for $645,000. Brophy Excavation has been hired to handle demo work.

A new construction permit was issued January 15 by the City of Chicago to build a multi-unit residence at 2341 West Belden Avenue in the Bucktown neighborhood. The new plans, designed by Michael Cox & Associates, call for two units which may indicate this will be a duplex-up and duplex-down condo development.
