The anticipated construction of a new residential building at 1101 West Argyle Street in Uptown can begin forthwith, as a permit has been issued by the City of Chicago. Located on the southwest corner of Argyle and Winthrop Avenue, the five-story, 16-unit development takes the place of the old Hoa Nam grocery store, which was demolished two summers ago after receiving a demolition permit in July 2023.
A new construction permit has been issued for the upcoming residential development at 2709 W Touhy Avenue in West Ridge. Located on the corner with N Washtenaw Avenue, the new structure will be replacing a vacant lot that held a one-story commercial building until recently. Efforts for the project are being led by Stak Prime LLC.
Construction progress on the residential building at 629 West Lake Street in the West Loop has risen above street level. General contractor Chicago Common Partners has the Axios Architects-designed project going 3D on its way up to eight stories. The 49-unit apartment building will have 2,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor, plus parking for two cars and 49 bicycles.
Permission has been granted to begin renovation work on The Mabel, the three-story former Maybelline headquarters building at 5920 North Ridge Avenue in Edgewater. At present, the 1928-built structure, designed by the Chicago firm of O’Connor & O’Connor, holds 52 dwelling units on its two upper floors, with commercial space at ground level and in the basement. The Chicago City Council approved the first-floor conversion in August of last year.
A full build out permit has been issued for the mixed-use affordable housing development at 2909 W Irving Park Road in Irving Park. Located mid-block between N Richmond Street and N Francisco Avenue, the new structure would replace a vacant lot along the busy corridor. Efforts for the project are being led by Full Circle Communities and Visionary Ventures.
