Two demolition permits have been issued to get a new development started at 4529 North Western Avenue in Lincoln Square. When we visited the site last month, demolition fencing was already up in anticipation of work getting started. And now it officially can, with the City of Chicago permitting both teardown on Thursday, September 12.
Construction is underway on a new residential development on the southwest corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Fullerton Avenue in the Logan Square neighborhood. 2354 North Washtenaw Avenue will be a five-story, 20 unit building from developer and general contractor Wilmot Construction. They got a permit to replace a surface parking lot on July 2 of this year, which also lists Hanna Architects as building designers.
In August, we told you about a permit issued for new construction at 2129 North Damen Avenue in Bucktown, and now two demolition permits have been issued to get that development started. The City of Chicago signed off on the wrecking ball for 2127 and 2129 North Damen on Friday, September 6. Both buildings have been boarded up and empty for some time now, and this makes their demises official.
Zoning has been approved for the mixed-use development at 1101 W Berwyn Avenue on the southern end of Edgewater. Sitting on the intersection with N Winthrop Avenue, the project will replace a vacant lot next to the CTA tracks. The team at Panoptic Group is leading the efforts for the development with local firm Hanna Architects serving as the designers.
While two Lincoln Square buildings await demolition, a new construction permit has been issued by the City of Chicago for a residential development at 4529 North Western Avenue. The permit came through on August 20, and it allows the entity of Western Front LLC in Buffalo Grove to build an eight-unit development spanning two lots, 4529 and 4531, mid-block on Western Ave.
