Construction has topped out and exterior work edges closer to completion on the residential development at 3015 North Southport Avenue in Lake View. The five-story building has reached full height, and vast majority of the brickwork appears to be done. The next project milestone might be adding windows to the exterior.
The concrete basement has been poured and structural steel erection has begun for the new residential building at 822 West Aldine Avenue in Lake View. Developer and general contractor MK Construction & Builders has been on site since February, when they began demolition of the 1885 home they purchased in July of last year for $1.5 million. Their permit to build new came through on February 20th, and shows a reported construction cost of $950,000.
All windows have been installed, and brickwork is rising around the exterior, as progress continues at the Lakeview Landing residential development in Lake View’s Wrigleyville neighborhood. Over The Rainbow Association is bringing 37 affordable, barrier-free units to this very desirable location at 835 West Addison Street, with an anticipated opening of September 2025.
A construction permit was issued by the city on April 25 to erect a three-story with basement, five-unit residential building at 3923 North Janssen Avenue in the Lake View neighborhood. The new build replaces a residence and coach house at 3925 North Janssen that were both permitted for demolition on April 3 of this year, but as of April 28 had not yet been torn down. Tir Conaill Concrete is the demo contractor. The permit shows a reported construction cost of $2.15 million.
The concrete foundation has been set for the three-flat under construction just west of Graceland Cemetery at 1406 West Cuyler Avenue in Lake View. General contractor Skal Construction & Development got started on site prep and pile driving last month, as the residential building by GSL Design begins to take form. The new homes replace a long-vacant lot, though it had been improved with a small garage off the alley at the rear of the property until recently.
