Further details have been revealed about the upcoming Foundry Park development within Lincoln Park. Just last month, we were the first to report when initial site plans were unveiled for the Lincoln Yards replacement. Developer JDL is working with local design firm HPA on the plans, which were presented at a community meeting that also covered 1704 North Milwaukee Avenue.
Initial site plans have been revealed for the upcoming mixed-use development known as Foundry Park near Goose Island. Earlier this year, we reported on local developer JDL’s announcement of their plans to purchase the northern half of the former Lincoln Yards megadevelopment. Now, some initial plans have been presented to the community.
Progress continues on the first-floor parking level at 455 North Carpenter Street in West Town, the future 72-unit residential building from Range Group. The ground floor will include 33 parking spaces, the residential lobby, lots of bicycle storage, and a single retail space. The L-shaped structure replaces the former Allied Valve Industries building demolished this past fall from the southeast corner of Carpenter Street and Grand Avenue.
The residential development at 455 North Carpenter Street in West Town received its full building permit on Wednesday, February 19. Range Group is erecting a five-story, 72-unit building designed by Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture here, with one retail space, a residential lobby, bike storage, and a 33-space parking garage on the first floor. The permit application is dated October 11, 2024, and shows an estimated cost for this phase of construction of $17 million.
The foundation has been excavated for a residential development coming to 455 North Carpenter Street in the West Town neighborhood. Replacing the former home of Allied Valve Industries, which was torn down this fall, the new building from Range Group will bring 72 dwelling units across a five-story structure. With the foundation now in place, you can clearly see the L-shaped building’s footprint.
