At 1352 West Diversey Parkway in Lake View, a new four-story, three-unit residential building is in the midst of construction. The project, from Chicago-based Halcyon Development Group, replaces a three-story frame residence demolished in 2022. That building, constructed in the 1910s, was addressed as 1354 West Diversey.
A two-unit residential building that began construction in May of this year is progressing quickly at 1450 West School Street in the Lake View neighborhood. Foundation work was underway for the project when we were here in the spring; it has now risen to its full three-story height.
The exterior is mostly finished, and the interior buildout continues, at 3050 N Greenview Avenue in Lake View. Permitted in July of 2023, this brick-clad four-story structure will deliver three residential units to the neighborhood, topped by a roof deck.
A grand four-story home within the Terra Cotta Row Historic District of Lake View is undergoing extensive renovations that will see it transformed from a single-family dwelling into a two-unit residence. The 1880s-era home, at 1054 W Oakdale Avenue, is also getting a two-story addition.
The City of Chicago issued a demolition permit for a three-story residential building at 3710 N Ashland Avenue in Lake View on June 21,2024. And by Friday the 28th, the structure had been completely demolished, leaving only an empty foundation to be torn out. While many properties sit vacant with active demolition permits unattended to, this one took less than a week to meet its proverbial wrecking ball.
