Brickwork is the featured attraction as construction continues on affordable residences at 4715 N Western Avenue in Lincoln Square. General contractors Leopardo Construction and KMW Communities have added masonry to most of the Western Avenue-facing façade, with work now shifting to the south-facing wall along Leland Avenue.
One month after receiving a permit from the City of Chicago to complete construction, 220 North Ada progress has reached the underside of the fourth level. And on July 8, a permit for Phase 2 was issued for the project’s tower crane. That means once the concrete core has grown a little higher, concrete contractor Adjustable Concrete and GC Clayco will tie the crane into the core and insert a few crane sections into the “tower” segment for sufficient height.
220 North Ada received a full building permit on June 12, allowing general contractor Clayco to take the new apartment tower to its full 29-story height. Working in tandem with concrete contractor Adjustable Concrete Construction, the core is rising on site now, while a parking ramp is taking shape. As of Friday, crews have reached the underside of the second floor across most of the half-block-long site.
Window installation is nearing completion at 4715 North Western Avenue, a six-story residential development in Lincoln Square. The project, which replaces a surface parking across Leland Avenue from the CTA Western Brown Line elevated platform, will feature 63 affordable rental units and 5,500 square feet of ground-floor retail space. It is being developed by The Community Builders.
Two residential construction projects in Chicago, 220 North Ada in Fulton Market and 400 Lake Shore in Streeterville, erected tower cranes on their respective job sites last week. The two new cranes mark the 10th and 11th to operate in the city in the month of May.
