Plans have been revealed for a new residential development at 1230 N Paulina Street in Wicker Park. Located just north of the intersection with W Division Street and bound by N Hermitage Avenue to the west, the proposal will replace a large tree-covered lot currently occupied by a single house. The new development will be called Illumina.
Foundation work has begun for a new residential development at 4454 North Western Avenue in the Lincoln Square neighborhood. Located on the southwest corner of Western and Sunnyside Avenues, it replaces a single-story building that was demolished this spring. The permit allowing construction to begin, issued by the City of Chicago on November 29, uses 2405 West Sunnyside Avenue as the building’s address.
Village Board approval has been granted for the mixed-use development at 739 Green Bay Road in Wilmette. Dubbed Optima Lumina, the new structure will replace a series of one-story buildings adjacent to Optima’s other development Verdana next door. Designed in house, the project comes as Verdana is fully leased with a long wait list.
A three-flat has begun construction at 1145 West 17th Street in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood, and it appears to be someone’s passion project. Caroline & Evan’s Dream House is the entity listed as the owner of the property in the permit issued by the city on September 26 of this year. It replaces a two-story multi-unit residence that was demolished in May.
Updated plans have been revealed for the redevelopment of the former site of DePaul College Prep at 3601 N California Avenue in Irving Park. Located on the corner with W Addison Street along the Chicago River, plans for the redevelopment have now shifted since we first covered them in 2021. This is greatly due to neighborhood complaints on density and traffic.
