Foundation work has started for a new residential building at 453 West Briar Place in the Lake View neighborhood. The five-story, six-unit condominium project is being built by Chicago’s GVP Development. They got a foundation permit back in November 2023, before receiving permission to complete the project in May of last year.
The sidewalk canopy on Lincoln Avenue hides much of the progress, but work is still getting done on a residential development at 3037 North Lincoln Avenue in Lake View. Promised Land Development (PLD Homes) is putting up a four-story, 15-unit building here that was permitted for construction on September 17 of last year.
New plans have been revealed for the mixed-use development at 925 W Belmont Avenue in Lake View. Sitting just a few feet away from the CTA Red Line Belmont station, a much larger version of the project was initially revealed last year by Mavrek Development. Both the original and current design were led by local firm Eckenhoff Saunders.
A multi-unit residence built in the early 1890s is being renovated in Lake View, saving the 130-year-old home from demolition. A renovation permit issued in July of last year allowed general contractor Paul Peterson, Inc to update the apartment layouts inside the building, while modernizing the kitchens and bathrooms. A rear exterior stairway and new decks are also included in the plan, with much of that work already completed.
Lakeview Landing is now topped out at 835 West Addison Street in the Lake View Community Area, as work on the exterior continues. Window installation appears to have crossed the halfway mark, and balconies on the east elevation are evident. That’s the work of general contractor Powers & Sons Construction.
