The CTA has announced a July 20 opening date for several North Side stations as part of the $2 billion Red and Purple Modernization (RPM) project. These stations have been closed or operating with temporary facilities since work began in 2021. This reopening marks a major milestone for the project, which is wrapping up its first phase.
A renovation permit was issued by the City of Chicago on June 16 to add two more dwelling units to a recently completed residential building in West Ridge. 5824 North Lincoln Avenue was permitted for construction back on March 15, 2021, and completed early in 2023. Developer and general contractor Panoptic Group filed for the renovation permit in January, and it was issued with a reported cost of $180,000. Real estate records show the apartment development sold in April for $3.6 million.
Details have been revealed for the residential development at 1805 N Campbell Avenue in Logan Square.

The Navy Pier Marina opened over Father’s Day Weekend on the north side of the pier. There remains work to be done on the containerized amenities building, but boats have begun using the marina as a stopping point on their excursions through Chicago’s waterways.
