Proposals have been revealed by the Chicago Department of Planning and Development for the Oakwood and Lake Park RFP in Bronzeville. Spread across six sites centered around the intersection of Lake Park Avenue and Oakwood Boulevard, we originally covered the RFP in detail earlier this year as it was revealed to potential bidders.
A residential building at 1646 North Orchard Street in the Old Town neighborhood of Lincoln Park has reached the second floor. Crews from developer and general contractor Urban Edge Group have reached the underside of the third level of the four-story with basement, five-unit development. Progress is moving along quickly, with UEG targeting a spring 2025 opening for the homes.
The Chicago Plan Commission has approved the residential conversion of the office building at 500 N Michigan Avenue on the Magnificent Mile. Located just north of the famed Wrigley Building, the once packed office building has almost cleared the final hurdle towards its conversion. Developer Commonwealth Development Partners now needs approval from the City Council prior to moving forward.
Construction of Lakeview Landing continues at 835 West Addison Street in Lake View, with the most prominent signs of progress showing on the concrete cores for the elevator and stairwell. Each of those, the elevator on the northeast corner of the site and the stairwell at the southwest, have reached the sixth level of the future six-story building.
The Chicago Plan Commission has approved the residential development at 936 W Leland Avenue in Uptown. Situated near the intersection with N Sheridan Avenue the project will replace a vacant lot and most recently secure zoning approval from the City Council as well. Developer West Leland Avenue LLC is working with architecture firm ORG.
