In August, we told you about a permit issued for new construction at 2129 North Damen Avenue in Bucktown, and now two demolition permits have been issued to get that development started. The City of Chicago signed off on the wrecking ball for 2127 and 2129 North Damen on Friday, September 6. Both buildings have been boarded up and empty for some time now, and this makes their demises official.
Further details have been revealed for the residential development at 4920 N Sheridan Road in Uptown. Located just south of the intersection with W Argyle Street, the project would rise across from Buttercup Park. The finalized details come as developers Kenny and Andy Lau submit a zoning application with the city.
Plans for the mixed-use development at 925 W Belmont Avenue are moving forward as a zoning application has been submitted. Located just west of the intersection with N Clark Street within Lake View, the project’s latest design is set to replace a handful of two-story story structures housing some long-term neighborhood staples.
A two-unit residential building is in the midst of construction at 1024 West 19th Street in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood in the Lower West Side Community Area. The City of Chicago issued a construction permit for the site on February 14 of this year. It is replacing an empty lot bordered on two sides by alleyways. Real estate records show the lot last sold in June 2023 for $185,000; estimated cost for the new construction is $436,000.
Construction has begun for the 52-unit 3605 North Ravenswood residential development in Lake View. Located on the northeast corner of the intersection connecting Addison Street, Ravenswood Avenue, and Lincoln Avenue, the six-story building is being developed by Macon Construction (also the general contractor) and Stocking Urban. Designs by Hirsch MPG call for the sixth floor to serve as an amenity deck, with the ground floor holding two commercial spaces. There will be 12 off-street parking spaces on the alley off Ravenswood.
