One of Chicago’s most unique preservation projects continues in Lincoln Park, as erection of the steel framework continues at the Second Church Of Christ, Scientist. With the west, south, and east façades still intact, the gutted former church, located at 2700 North Pine Grove Avenue, now holds a steel frame upon which a six-story, 22-unit residential building from Ogden Partners is blooming, thanks to construction work by general contractor MC Construction.

Exterior construction for the Northwestern Medicine Bronzeville Outpatient Center at 4822 South Cottage Grove Avenue, in the Grand Boulevard Community Area continues to progress toward completion. Much of the cladding for the parking structure at the south end of the facility is up, as is most of the glass curtain well around the office and patient care areas at the north end. Significant interior work remains, as healthcare-specific preparations require considerably more time to implement than standard construction.
