Big progress has been made on a residential development at 2100 West 18th Place in the Lower West Side’s Pilsen neighborhood. Foundation work was just underway when we last visited the site in September, and now work has reached the third floor of the four-story project.
Construction progress is ongoing at 1357 West Roosevelt Road on Chicago’s Near West Side. Yesterday, we checked in on progress one block east of here, at 1257 West Roosevelt. Both buildings are part of the Roosevelt Square development from Related Midwest and the Chicago Housing Authority. 1357 West Roosevelt Road was permitted for construction by the City of Chicago back in December 2022, and is not quite as far along in completion. The building is topped out, however, and most of its windows have been installed.
Façade work and window installation is in the home stretch at 1257 West Roosevelt Road, one residential component of the Roosevelt Square development plan on the Near West Side. The six-story building is glazed all around, and only a small portion of the cladding remains to be installed at the rear of the building. Its partner one block west, at 1357 West Roosevelt, is also nearing completion.
Construction is underway on the affordable housing development at 1237 North California Avenue in Humboldt Park. The Hispanic Housing Development Corporation, a nonprofit developer, is building a six-story, 40-unit building here featuring one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom floor plans. The site had been vacant since 2019, when the former La Casa Puertorriqueña Puerto Rican community center was demolished.
47th Ward Alderman Matt Martin announced Tuesday on Twitter that the new residential building at 4715 North Lincoln Avenue in Lincoln Square has a new name and website. Now known as The Canvas at Lincoln Plaza, the 63-unit affordable development from The Community Builders will begin accepting applications this Thursday, October 17th.
