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.
A residential development fronting Hastings Street, 13th Street, and Ashland Avenue on the Near West Side is progressing toward a partial opening next month. Three-story, six-unit buildings, all 10 of which were permitted back in August of last year, face south and north in the two-rowed complex. They’ll be the first homes ready, with June 1 announced as the initial move-in date.
