Last week, Precision Excavation began demolishing the two-story mixed-use brick building at 4634 N Western Avenue in Lincoln Square, clearing the way for a residential development to begin construction. The new project by the Macon Construction Group has been approved, though not yet permitted, and will see a new six-story building link to the existing four-story structure at 4642 N Western Avenue.
Scaffolding and blue construction wrap surround the four-story condominium building at 4700 N Western Avenue in Lincoln Square as crews work on the balconies on all four façades. Structures Construction is the general contractor for the project, which includes replacing masonry piers on said balconies with steel columns.
A 42-unit residential building is progressing at 5151 N Lincoln Avenue in Lincoln Square. The five-story development replaces a one-story building at 5151 and a two-story structure at 5153 N Lincoln Avenue. Both were permitted for demolition August 16, 2022.
Two apartment buildings, at 5015 and 5019 N Lincoln Avenue in Lincoln Square, have come back to life after a long pause. Financial problems for the original developer stalled the projects after construction had begun on a pair of three-story, six-unit residential buildings, plus an additional foundation to the north of those. The site had become somewhat of a makeshift graffiti artists’ studio until developer Lynda Wu stepped into the picture.
Window installation is nearing completion at 4715 N Western Avenue, a six-story residential development in Lincoln Square. The project, which replaces a surface parking across Leland Avenue from the CTA Western Brown Line elevated platform, will feature 63 affordable rental units and 5,500 square feet of ground-floor retail space. It is being developed by The Community Builders.
