The Chicago City Council has approved the residential conversion of the former Maybelline headquarters at 5920 N Ridge Avenue in Edgewater. Efforts for the project are being led by Ernst Development and Envoi Partners, who announced their plans earlier this year and submitted for rezoning in July.
General contractor Spec Development is making progress on a new residential building at 2654 North Greenview Avenue in Lincoln Park. The City of Chicago issued a new construction permit for the property on March 8 of this year, but the demolition permit wasn’t issued until April 12, so work appears to be moving rather quickly on the double-lot site. The work is being performed for a developer listed on the permit as an LLC in Buffalo Grove.
Demolition is nearly complete of a masonry multi-residence building at 2034 North Racine Avenue in Lincoln Park. That clears the way for developer Real View Design and Development to erect a two-unit residential project on the site. A pending permit with the City of Chicago, applied for on May 31, calls for a three-story structure with a basement and a detached two-car garage. Each dwelling unit will have a rear-facing terrace, while the garage will be topped by a roof deck.
Further details have been revealed for the mixed-use development at 1310 S Ashland Avenue in the Near West Side. Bounded by W Hastings Street to the south and W 13th Street to the north, we recently covered its partial permit approval which can be found here. Efforts for the project are being led by a local developer, with Axios Architects working on its design.
Demolition is mostly complete of the former Uncommon Ground restaurant at 1401 West Devon Avenue in Edgewater. That clears the way for a 12-unit residential development to begin construction. According to Block Club, demolition got started a few weeks ago; all that remains to be cleared from the site is a little bit of rubble, and there’s some foundation remnants to be dug out.
