Lincoln Park

Brickwork is the standout feature on a new condo development at 1658 North Burling Street in Lincoln Park. Though progress has only reached the second floor of the four-story building, multi-color bricks already adorn much of the first floor and parts of the second.  An exposed steel beam straddles the main entrance, while a pair of steel headers have been set on level two. Around back, there’s more brickwork at ground level, though it’s not as fancy as the main façade. Pallets of block and brick await further placement.

Construction has topped out on a modest three-unit building at 1441 West Diversey Parkway on the northern edge of the Lincoln Park Community Area. None of the exterior finishes for the structure have been started, and none of the windows have been installed yet. At the alley, the lot is still open for access, with a detached garage to come once the construction crew no longer needs easy access to the residences.

Heavy steel beams for the framework of a residential building have been put in place at 750 West North Avenue in Lincoln Park. The ironwork has been tied into the curved wall for the east facade of the building, and concrete block is underway to start giving form to the structure. Additional masonry work is on view at the west side of the construction site, with brickwork outlining the first floor.
