A demolition permit was issued August 1 for the former Fast Track restaurant at 629 West Lake Street in the West Loop. That should clear the way to realize the pending permit for an eight-story, 49-unit apartment building designed by Axios Architects.
Construction progress at 3951 North Wayne Avenue in Lake View has graduated to walls and bricks. The apartment building that replaces a now-demolished Burger King restaurant got started back in April, on its way to delivering 31 new rental units to the north end of the Wrigleyville neighborhood.
Construction is in progress for a pair of condominiums at 1436 West School Street in Lake View. The new building replaces a multi-unit two-story home, built in 1890, that previously occupied the site. That property received its demolition permit in March and was quickly dispatched.
At 2044 North Damen Avenue in Bucktown, a four-story, two-unit new-construction building is going up on the site formerly home to Toast brunch cafe for nearly 25 years. Toast occupied the modest 1891-built brick building…
