The City of Chicago issued a permit on January 7 to allow for the construction of a three-story, three-unit building at 4920 North Whipple Street in the Albany Park neighborhood.

Funding has been secured for the renovation and re-opening of the southern entrance of the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry (MSI).

Initial details have been revealed for a new mixed-use office high-rise at 590 W Madison Street in West Loop Gate.

The project is being led by Florida-based Third Millennium Group and Texas-based Hines.
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.
Initial plans have been revealed for the residential conversion of the existing church at 2625 N Talman Avenue in Logan Square. Located just north of the intersection with W Logan Boulevard, the church was most recently the home of the Bethel International Full Gospel Korean congregation. Efforts for the redevelopment, dubbed Talman Lofts, are being led by Mo2 Properties.
