Additional financing has been approved for the affordable housing development at 2136 S Ashland Avenue in the Lower West Side. Set to replace a vacant lot across the street from Benito Juarez High School, the project has received approval from the Community Development Commission for $23 million in TIF funds. Developer The Resurrection Project is behind the project dubbed Casa Yucatan.
Foundation work is underway for an eight-unit residential building at 2100 West 18th Place in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood. The four-story development got a construction permit from the City of Chicago on March 27 of this year. That permit indicates these will be rental units by specifying the word “apartments” and also calls for four outdoor parking spaces. It lists Fox Pilsen 4 as the developer, and FGAC Construction as the general contractor. Both companies appear to be affiliates of R.P. Fox & Associates in Oak Park, Illinois. DesignBridge is the architect of record for the project.
A permit application has been submitted for the first of three towers at 370 N Morgan Street in Fulton Market. Located on the intersection with W Kinzie Street, the multi-phase project has been in development since 2022 and appears to be moving forward as interest rates soften. Developer Vista Property Group had received all of the necessary city approvals last year already.
A demolition permit has been issued by the City of Chicago for the three-story multi-residence at 1150 West Diversey Parkway in Lake View. That’s also the former home of Lynn’s Hair & Spa, which appears to have moved around the corner onto Lincoln Avenue, according to a Facebook posting. The teardown will create a lot for a three-unit building on the site, to be developed by a local LLC. The demolition permit was issued August 29, naming Tir Conaill Concrete as the demo contractor. Real estate sites show the building was constructed in the 1880s; it sold in May of this year for $625,000.
Further details have been revealed for the mixed-use development coming at 4920 W Irving Park Road in the Six Corners area of Portage Park. Sitting on the corner with N Laporte Avenue, the proposal would replace a now vacant lot and two-story commercial building housing Las Tablas Colombian Steak House. Whose owner Soraya Campos is developing the project.
