The Chicago Plan Commission has approved a residential development at 7401 W Everell Avenue in Norwood Park. Located on an empty lot squeezed between two assisted living facilities and the running track of Resurrection College Prep High School, developer Lexington Homes, LLC has partnered up with Pappageorge Haymes to bring 50 single-family homes to the 7.5-acre site.
A portion of the structural and facade work is now above grade for 133 S Ashland Avenue, a planned four-story residential building near the southwest corner of West Loop. The development received permits in September 2020 under the owner name 133 Ashland Land LLC.
Work can now be seen above street level for a new four-story mixed-use building at 2111 W Caton Street in Wicker Park.
With window installation now complete, the remaining metal paneling is being installed for a unique boutique office building, rising six stories at 1525 N Elston Avenue in West Town. Prior to development, the property was occupied by two masonry residential buildings and a vacant lot.
The Chicago Plan Commission has approved a restoration of the North Pond Nature Sanctuary in Lincoln Park. Located between N Cannon Drive and N Stockton Drive, the project looks to preserve the existing north pond which was built in the mid-1880’s. Notable sites on the North Pond include the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum and Michelin-starred North Pond Restaurant.
