First Ward Alderman La Spata has submitted to designate the property at 1628 W Division Street in Wicker Park as a Low Affordability Community. Located near the intersection with N Ashland Avenue and N Milwaukee Avenue, plans for a new tower on the site have been in the works for multiple years. The most recent designs for the project date back to 2022.
Construction progress continues on a three-story, nine-unit residential building at 4524 W Irving Park Road in the Irving Park neighborhood. Permitted to the address of 4007 N Kolmar Avenue on June 6, 2023, this was originally to have a basement level beneath the residential floors. However, a revision issued in April of this year eliminated the basement.
Updated details and alderman approval have been revealed for the residential at 936 W Leland Avenue in Uptown. Sitting near the intersection with N Sheridan Avenue, we initially covered its announcement earlier this year as it prepares to replace a vacant lot. The current property owner is leading the development efforts.
Construction progress continues on the two buildings that make up the first phase of the Encuentro Square development in Logan Square. The six-story and four-story structures are both topped out and windows are in place, with façade work partially completed on the exteriors.
A grand four-story home within the Terra Cotta Row Historic District of Lake View is undergoing extensive renovations that will see it transformed from a single-family dwelling into a two-unit residence. The 1880s-era home, at 1054 W Oakdale Avenue, is also getting a two-story addition.
