The Chicago Plan Commission has approved the massive redevelopment of the United Center parking lots dubbed The 1901 Project in the Near West Side. Centered around the 30-year-old arena, plans were revealed last year by the Reinsdorf and Wirtz families, owners of the Bulls and Blackhawks respectively.
Brick and block work is nearing completion on the exterior of the new residential development at 6350 North Glenwood Avenue in the Edgewater neighborhood. Located on the southwest corner of Glenwood and Devon Avenues, the four-story, 12-unit building from Variable Properties is replacing the former Uncommon Ground restaurant, which was demolished last summer.
The first of two three-unit buildings to be built at 4206-08 South Calumet Avenue in Bronzeville has been permitted by the City of Chicago to begin construction. The permit for 4208 South Calumet, applied for on October 30 of 2024, was issued on January 13. It calls for a three-story masonry structure with a rooftop deck and stair enclosure.
A residential development delivering 12 new units across the street from Humboldt Park is underway at 1604 North Francisco Avenue. Located on the northwest corner of North and Francisco Avenues, the five-story elevator building will include nine parking spaces in the first level, with a roof deck, stair enclosures, and elevator overrun atop the fifth floor.
The first of two construction permits has been issued by the City of Chicago for a pair of four-story, eight-unit residential buildings in the Tri-Taylor neighborhood. A demolition permit came through on New Year’s Eve for 701 South Western Avenue, and now permission has been granted to begin the new development, although this first one won’t be on the demolition site, per se.
