Construction progress continues on the two buildings that make up the first phase of the Encuentro Square development in Logan Square. The six-story and four-story structures are both topped out and windows are in place, with façade work partially completed on the exteriors.
The Chicago Community Development has approved funding for the redevelopment and renovation of multiple affordable housing buildings in Uptown. Dubbed the Heart of Uptown Apartments, or HUPA, the five building project is being led by a joint venture made up of the Preservation Of Affordable Housing (POAH) and Voice of the People Uptown.
An initial rendering and funding have been revealed for the mixed-use development at 2525 N Kedzie Boulevard in Logan Square. Located just south of the neighborhood’s central traffic circle, the project would replace an existing property on the intersection with N Linden Place. The proposal is being led by Bickerdike Redevelopment who is also working on 5853 N Broadway.
Potential partial funding has been announced for the affordable housing development at 1237 N California Avenue in West Town. Located on the intersection with W Crystal Street and across the street from Humboldt Park itself, the project will be replacing a now vacant lot. Efforts are being led by the Hispanic Housing Development Corporation with local-firm DesignBridge working on its design.
Additional financing has been approved for the residential development at 547 W Oak Street in the Near North Side. Located on the intersection with N Larrabee Street, the proposal is the first phase of redeveloping a long-term vacant lot owned by the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA). The project is being led by developer BDM-I LLC made up of Brinshore & The Michaels Development Corporation.
