Demolition Permits Issued for 2454-56 W Ainslie Street in Lincoln Square

Dual demolition permits have been issued for two adjacent multi-unit buildings located at 2454-56 W Ainslie Street in Lincoln Square. Both permits list Eamon Gibbons as the owner, whose plans for the properties have not yet been published. However, both parcels are zoned for RS-3 Residential Single-Unit District, which allows for detached single family homes and two-flats. This designation also allows for a floor area ratio of 0.9, by which any new building’s square footage may not exceed 90 percent that of the lot itself.

Foundation Permits Issued for 2212 W Lawrence Avenue in Lincoln Square

Foundation permits have been issued for a five-story residential building located at 2212 W Lawrence Avenue in Lincoln Square. The owner, filed under Deanna Zivkovic, plans to incorporate 10 total units, as well as four surface exterior parking spaces. The new development will replace a currently vacant lot. Earlier plans were made back in 2013 to build a four-story, 23-unit, mixed-use building, though these plans appear to have been abandoned. In the process of this planning however, a zoning ordinance was passed to convert the property from Bl-1 Neighborhood Shopping District to B2-3 Neighborhood Mixed-Use District. It is unclear however if the new building will occupy the same footprint, given its smaller scope.
