A three-story, three-unit condominium development is underway at 855 West Lill Avenue in the Sheffield Neighbors neighborhood of Lincoln Park. The building, which will include a basement, replaces a three-story greystone home that was built in 1890 and demolished in May.
The famous Chicago Spire cofferdam continues its fade into oblivion, as the concrete core for the North Tower at 400 Lake Shore has cleared the top of the former hole in the ground. The core got some help, of course, in the form of a severe haircut for the concrete-and-steel cofferdam, which is being cut away piece by piece. The iron ring that appears in the photos below will be removed, leaving only the lowest portions buried deep in the ground.
Initial approvals have been granted for the third phase of the Cenacle Retreat development at 2323 N Cambridge Avenue in Lincoln Park. Situated at the intersection with W Fullerton Avenue, this part of the project has a new developer and designer compared to the initial announcement two years ago.
Plans have been revealed for the residential development at 7728 N Sheridan Road in Rogers Park. Located on the southwest intersection with W Juneway Terrace on the northernmost edge of the neighborhood, the project will be replacing a single-family home that is currently vacant.
A new construction permit was issued July 23 to put a residential building on a small, overgrown lot at 1619 W Lawrence Avenue in Uptown. Located mid-block just west of the intersection of Ashland and Lawrence Avenues, the site has been fenced off for years without any activity. A three-flat previously on the property was demolished back in 2011.
