Initial details have been revealed for the residential conversion of 65 E Wacker Place in The Loop. Located west of the intersection with N Michigan Avenue and around a block from the Chicago River, the new plans aren’t the first time a conversion has been proposed for the nearly 100 year old structure.
The City of Chicago has issued a new construction permit for a residential development at 904 West Dakin Street in Lake View. The new building replaces a frame multi-unit home addressed as 906 West Dakin. A demolition permit was issued for that property on February 1 of this year; it was torn down shortly thereafter
The Chicago City Council has approved the residential conversion of the former Maybelline headquarters at 5920 N Ridge Avenue in Edgewater. Efforts for the project are being led by Ernst Development and Envoi Partners, who announced their plans earlier this year and submitted for rezoning in July.
General contractor Spec Development is making progress on a new residential building at 2654 North Greenview Avenue in Lincoln Park. The City of Chicago issued a new construction permit for the property on March 8 of this year, but the demolition permit wasn’t issued until April 12, so work appears to be moving rather quickly on the double-lot site. The work is being performed for a developer listed on the permit as an LLC in Buffalo Grove.
The Chicago Plan Commission has approved the community center at 6020 S King Drive in Washington Park. Set to partially replace a vacant lot on the southwest intersection with E 60th Street, news on the project broke over a year ago and has since been reviewed by the community. The project is being led by Sunshine Gospel Ministries and the Chicago Neighborhood Initiative.
