In the Fulton Market District, construction on the nine-story commercial building at 732 W Randolph Street is progressing toward completion. Overseen by Samuel Oliva, this development spans 7,000 square feet, dedicating seven floors to offices, a ground floor for retail, and a top floor for tenant amenities.
The new commercial project at 801 W Belmont Avenue in Lakeview East is seeing further progress in its exterior construction, with the installation of dark brick and large, loft-inspired windows ongoing. This two-story retail building is replacing a parking lot and a 1921 brick bank building designed by Ivar Viehe-Naess. The new development is planning 59,000 square feet of commercial or retail space, augmented by 300 feet of new storefronts.
Another design iteration has been revealed for 4640 N Western Avenue in Lincoln Square. Situated directly south of the Western station serviced by the Brown Line, the plans are being developed by Macon Construction, while Hirsch MPG is the project architect. The mixed-use proposal highlights a new six-story building that will incorporate an adjacent four-story structure. The project plans to provide a total of 74 apartment units and ground-floor retail space.
Final exterior touches are visible at 732 W Randolph Street in the Fulton Market District, where a new nine-story commercial addition is nearing completion. The development, led by Samuel Oliva, will feature 6,000 square feet of office space over seven floors, retail space on the ground floor, and tenant amenity space on the top floor.
Construction continues on the mixed-use development at 1954-1956 W North Avenue in the heart of Wicker Park. Located at the heart of the neighborhood on the six-corner intersection with N Damen Avenue, the historical preservation and redevelopment will revitalize the corner structure which has sat vacant for many years now. The team at Ernst Development is working with local architecture firm Hirsch MPG on its design, which aims to bring back some of the building’s original details after buying it in 2021.
