A three-story, two-unit residential building is under construction and topped out at 1739 North Whipple Street in the Humboldt Park neighborhood. The homes are less than two blocks away from the northern edge of Humboldt Park and its myriad of recreational activities; they replace one of two side-by-side grass lots that served as side yards for neighboring homes.
A new construction permit was issued by the City of Chicago on December 12 to build a new three-flat at 2616 West Haddon Avenue in the Humboldt Park neighborhood. The long-time owner of a single-family home here is responsible for the new development. The permit application was filed on October 28, and has an estimated construction cost of $500,000.
Plans are advancing for the mixed-use development at 640 W Randolph Street in West Loop Gate as permits have been applied for in order to commence construction. Originally announced over two years ago, the project is being led by Vista Property Group who also built the mostly fully leased 609 W Randolph nearby.
Construction progress is up to the second floor at Wicker Park Place, the latest residential project from developer/general contractor Wicker Park Apartments. Located at 1504 West Haddon Avenue, the building replaces a long-vacant surface lot along North Milwaukee Avenue between Wicker Park and Noble Square in West Town.
A second three-flat has been permitted to begin construction on an empty lot at Pershing Road and Lake Park Avenue in the Oakland Community Area. The City of Chicago issued the permit on December 31, allowing for a three-story, three-unit building at 3900 South Lake Park Avenue. On November 26, the first permit for this lot was issued for 3902 S0uth Lake Park Avenue, also a three-story, three-unit building with identical specs.
