Demolition work is underway on five buildings in the 1200-block of North Ashland Avenue in Wicker Park that will soon see two new residential develops begin construction. A pair of demo permits were issued about two weeks ago to get started on 16 residential units at 1235 North Ashland, followed a week later by permits to tear down three buildings standing in the way of 24 new units at 1257 North Ashland.
Three demolition permits have been issued by the City of Chicago for buildings on North Elk Grove Avenue in the Wicker Park neighborhood. The sites are being cleared by developer Volo Holdings so they can construct a new three-story with basement, six-unit residential property permitted for construction in November.
A demolition permit has been issued for the residential building at 3837 North Clark Street in the Wrigleyville neighborhood. The permit was issued on January 24 to developer Mangan Builders. Precision Excavation is named as the demolition contractor, at an estimated cost of $30,000.
Demolition has begun on the former discount furniture store at 1950 West Lawrence Avenue in Ravenswood. The back wall of the structure has been broken through, allowing a clear view from the alley all the way the the front windows of the store’s showroom. Not much progress has been made, but enough to get a small excavator through the back of the building and keep the alley clear.
A pair of demolition permits issued by the City of Chicago signal the beginning of a five-story, 24-unit residential building at 1257 North Ashland Avenue in Wicker Park. The permits, issued Tuesday, January 21, are for the buildings at 1257 and 1259, with one more expected for 1301 North Ashland next door. All three were part of the Mike’s Furniture retail mega-complex. Buildmax Company is named as the demolition contractor.
