A residential development has been proposed for construction in Lake View at 3909 North Ashland Avenue. Alderwoman Angela Clay of the 46th Ward announced the plans in her weekly newsletter on Friday, September 12. The plans are preliminary, and the process is only just beginning.
A five-unit residential building permitted in winter of last year is under construction at 2821 North Orchard Street at the south edge of Lake View. The five-story with basement masonry building got its permit on February 29, 2024, 14 months after the application was filed on December 28, 2022. At the time of issuance, the permit cited a reported cost of $2.6 million.
A new three-story with basement, two-unit building is set to replace a 140-year-old multi-unit residence at 1404 West George Street in Lake View. A permit was issued August 21 allowing construction to begin. It came through with a reported cost of $920,000 three months after its May 19 application date.
A three-story plus basement, two-unit building has been permitted to replace a frame residence at 1455 West Melrose Street on the west side of Lake View. Issued with a reported cost of $920,000, the permit was applied for on May 21 and came through on July 11.
The Lake View neighborhood is getting closer to adding 52 more residential units, as progress continues at 3605 North Ravenswood Avenue. General contractor and co-developer Macon Construction has reached the fourth level of what will essentially be a five-story building. A partial sixth floor will hold an amenity suite.
