Vertical progress continues on the residential development from CityPads at 1549 North Fremont Street in the Near North Community Area. Led by general contractor ENC Construction & Development, the 132-unit building has risen to the second level on its way to topping out at five stories.
A demolition permit was issued Friday for a one-story commercial building at 424 South Wabash Avenue in The Loop. And it looks like that means a long-awaited hotel project is about ready to get started on the site.
Demolition work is nearing completion ahead of the new Tiny Giants Early Learning Center at 2801 West Montrose Avenue in Horner Park. Located on the southwest corner of Montrose and California Avenues, the mixed-use childhood education and residential development is replacing three commercial buildings that were permitted for teardown in August and October last year.
Construction progress has risen above street level for a big residential development at 1549 North Fremont Street on the northern edges of the River North neighborhood on the Near North Side. The five-story, 132-unit apartment project from CityPads broke ground just after Labor Day. Concrete blocks and steel beams are now going vertical, thanks to the crew from general contractor ENC Construction & Development.
Three demolition permits have been issued for properties on the southwest corner of Montrose Avenue and California Avenue in Irving Park. The removal of those buildings will clear space for developers Farah and Amir Essa to build their next Tiny Giants Early Learning Center facility and mixed-use residential development, designed by SEEK Design + Architecture. The new project will include school offices on the second floor, and 24 residential units on levels three and four. The learning center will occupy the ground floor.
