Structural work has reached full height for the 27-story 868 N Wells Street in Near North Side, replacing a former low-rise brick building that was demolished last year. The developer of this mixed-use tower is JDL, who has planned for 411 units and 12,000 square feet of retail.
Construction continues on the mixed-use redevelopment of 4735 N Western Avenue in Lincoln Square. Located just north of the CTA Brown Line at Western station and near the intersection with W Lawrence Avenue, plans to renovate much of the building were revealed earlier this year along the changing corridor. Developer Rany Management is behind the project and worked with local firm Kennedy Mann Architects on its design.
A construction permit has been granted for a new mixed-use development at 3545 W Belmont Avenue in Avondale. The proposed four-story structure will feature commercial space on the ground floor and four residential units across the second to fourth floors. This development will replace what is currently a vacant lot, with front balconies, a basement, trash enclosure, and a rear two-vehicle garage included in the plans. The project is owned by Kazimierz Dojka.
With the exterior removed, significant renovations are underway at 679 N Michigan Avenue along Magnificent Mile. The structure was formerly an Apple Store, then subsequently the canvas for a mural titled “Rapt on The Mile” by Nick Cave and Bob Faust. This third chapter for the four-story building will be a retail redevelopment by Nick Canellis and will span four levels. According to an article by Crain’s Chicago Business, H&M will be the occupying tenant.
Since our last update, the two-story retail development at 113 E Oak Street in Near North Side has completed construction. Spanning 5,050 square feet, the new building was developed by 113 E Oak Street LLC with an equal distribution of space between its two floors. The first and second floors offer approximately 2,600 and 2,500 square feet, respectively.
