Construction is underway at 1257 North Ashland Avenue in Wicker Park, where Noah Properties is replacing three former Mike’s Furniture buildings with a new residential development. They received a construction permit from the City of Chicago on February 7 with a reported build cost of $5.4 million. Buildmax is doing the general contracting work.
The property at 843 South Miller Street in Little Italy has been permitted for a four-story, five-unit residential building. A previous home on the site was demolished last year, though there remains some foundation work to dig up. Song Development & Management is both the developer and the general contractor for the project, with a reported construction cost of $600,000.
Site prep and digging of the foundation have begun for a three-and-a-half-story plus basement, three-unit building at 1406 West Cuyler Avenue in Graceland West. A permit was issued for the property back on January 10, and last week, an excavator was delivered to the site in anticipation of work getting started. And now, general contractor Skal Construction & Development of Elk Grove Village has gotten to work.
A permit was issued by the City of Chicago allowing for the construction of a three-story plus basement, four-unit building at 6416 North Francisco Avenue in West Ridge. Developer Amazing City LLC of Lake Zurich got the permit on March 24 after filing the application on May 22, 2024. They are listed as their own general contractor, at a reported cost of $1.538 million.
With caisson work having wrapped up already, crews have now begun construction at grade for the residential development at 629 West Lake Street in the West Loop. The permit to begin work, caissons and all, was issued to developer Fulton Market Suites LLC on December 9 of last year. Demolition of the site’s existing single-story restaurant building didn’t get started until January, but once it began, things moved along quickly, bringing us to the progress we saw last week.
