The City of Chicago has issued a renovation permit for 41 E Oak Street in Streeterville. The project will involve changes to the exterior of the existing two-story commercial building, as well as major alterations to the interior mercantile space. The overhaul will also involve both new roof and floor replacements to cater to the new interior layout.
A preliminary permit for interior demolition has been granted in preparation for the revitalization of the Cameron Building at 240 N Ashland Avenue in the Near West Side. Situated on the southwest corner at the intersection with W Fulton Street, the historic clocktower building has been vacant for several years and is now proposed as the new headquarters for local incubator mHUB. The non-profit organization is driving the initiative, while Gensler is now confirmed as the project architect.
A permit has been issued for the renovation and partial build-out of 6156 W Belmont Avenue. The project involves interior alterations to a vacant commercial tenant space, which will be transformed into a daycare in the existing masonry building. Located in the Dunning neighborhood, the property is owned by Minerva Fernandez.
Initial renderings have been revealed for the commercial development at 1158 W 59th Street in Englewood. Located on the intersection with S Racine Avenue just south of the future Englewood Nature Trail, the new project will rehab the existing multi-story building on the site which once housed neighborhood staple Leon’s Bar-B-Q. Now the Resident Association of Greater Englewood (RAGE) plans to bring back dining to the location with a new design by local firm QORF Studios.
Structural work is well underway, with the elevator core reaching its full height at the new commercial development at 151 N Michigan Avenue in New Eastside. BJB Partners has been steadily progressing in the construction of this project, which will replace a former single-story restaurant and offer a total of 15,000 square feet of commercial space. The ground floor is set to include 5,300 square feet of retail space, divided into two or three commercial units based on demand.
