Construction progress on the residential development at 5035 North Sheridan Road in Uptown now features lots of glass and brick on the exterior. Scaffolding along the structure’s Carmen Avenue façade is facilitating continued brickwork, as developer and general contractor DLG Management erects an eight-story plus basement, 77-unit apartment building here.
Initial details have been revealed for the residential conversion of 4545 N Ravenswood Avenue in Ravenswood. Sitting just south of the intersection with W Wilson Avenue, the existing building faces the Metra tracks and most recently held a fitness center and software company as its tenants. However, as commercial demand wanes, residential increases.
Demolition has yet to begin on the small retail plaza at 4313 North Lincoln Avenue in North Center, but the construction permit for the residential building taking its place has been issued. Demo fencing has been set up around the plaza’s perimeter since a previous visit last month, shortly after permission to tear the buildings down came through, but Precision Excavation’s on-site equipment has yet to dig in.
The residential development at 1235 North Ashland Avenue in Wicker Park has taken similar strides in progress as its neighbor at 1257 North Ashland just up the street. We took a look at an update Thursday on 1257; 1235 is also at grade level, and will rise the same five stories. They are both being led by Noah Properties, with Buildmax as general contractor. They got a new permit from the city to build 1235 North Ashland on February 6, showing a reported construction cost of $4 million.
A residential development has been permitted at 3310 North Lincoln Avenue in Lake View, two and a half years after applications were filed to start construction. Mangan Builders will put up a six-story building on the site, which was cleared of a pair of low-sling structures back in spring 2024. The permit was issued on March 27, and it shows a reported cost of $6 million. Mangan is the general contractor, in addition to their developer duties.
