Partial funding has been fully approved for the affordable housing development at 1237 N California Avenue in West Town. Sitting on the intersection with W Crystal Street, the project will replace a vacant lot. Efforts for the development are being led by the Hispanic Housing Development Corporation with local firm DesignBridge working on its design.
Demolition work has begun on the small blue house at 840 W Lill Avenue in Lincoln Park. Demo contractor Carlos Group is carrying out instructions on a permit issued July 9 to tear down the two-story frame residence and detached garage.
Details have been revealed for the mixed-use development at 2600 N Clark Street in Lincoln Park. Located on the northwest corner with W Wrightwood Avenue, the project would replace a stretch of one-story commercial buildings. Efforts on the project are being led by Big Shoulder Development LLC as plans were presented to the community last week.
A four-story, six-unit apartment building has begun construction at 1624 N Damen Avenue in the Wicker Park neighborhood. A full building permit, issued June 27 of this year, calls for retail space at ground level. Balconies at the front and rear of the building, designed by 360 Design Studio, are also included on the permit. No parking spaces are mentioned.
One month after receiving a permit from the City of Chicago to complete construction, 220 North Ada progress has reached the underside of the fourth level. And on July 8, a permit for Phase 2 was issued for the project’s tower crane. That means once the concrete core has grown a little higher, concrete contractor Adjustable Concrete and GC Clayco will tie the crane into the core and insert a few crane sections into the “tower” segment for sufficient height.
