Renderings have been revealed for the mixed-use development at 3122 W Belmont Avenue in Avondale. We first covered the proposal at the corner near the Kennedy Expressway earlier this year. The small, wedge-shaped project is being led by Lukaven Development, which has worked on multiple single-family homes in the area.
The Lawndale Christian Development Corporation has received permission this month to build 10 affordable single-family homes in the North Lawndale neighborhood. Eight permits were issued on June 10, one on June 9, and one on June 5. Their applications were filed between November 2024 and January of this year, and each permit shows a reported construction cost of $300,000.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held for the mixed-use development at 3831 W Chicago Avenue in Humboldt Park. Dubbed Humboldt Park Passive Living, the project has been in the works for a few years and is located near the intersection with N Pulaski Road. The event, held two weeks ago, was attended by the mayor and developer 548 Development.
It’s still very early in the construction progress at 4709 North Paulina Street in Uptown, but it’s already showing signs of what its renderings depicted. Masonry work on the front façade of the first floor indicates this will be bricked in as it goes up, highlighting brick and limestone markings on the courtyard-style apartment building and its west-facing bay windows.
Partial funding has been granted for the upcoming mixed-use development at 5050 S Prairie Avenue in Grand Boulevard. Located at the corner of E 51st Street, the proposal, dubbed 5050 Prairie, will replace a large vacant lot and a pair of existing commercial buildings. The funding comes from the city’s Community Development Grant.
