A three-story, two-unit luxury condominium building at 840 West Lill Avenue in Lincoln Park continues to make rapid progress toward completion. The previous residence on the site, a single-family farmhouse that was built in 1860 and sold in May of this year, was demolished in July, with work on the new homes getting started before August began.
Masonry work is nearing completion on a topped-out four-story residential building at 1355 North Western Avenue in the Wicker Park neighborhood. The 12-unit elevator building was permitted by the City of Chicago back on November 10, 2022, so there must have been some delays. But crews are active at the site now.
A demolition permit was issued on October 9 for the multi-unit residence at 3034 North Sheffield Avenue in Lake View. Next door at 3038, a coach house at the rear of the property has also been surrounded by demo fencing. Those two demolitions, to be carried out by Land Enterprises, will clear the way for a new three-story with basement, five-dwelling-unit building.
Construction is underway on a small, long-vacant lot at 1619 West Lawrence Avenue in Uptown. After receiving a permit to build on July 23, McNea and Sons Construction has blocked in the first floor of the soon-to-be three-floor building, set to hold two residential units atop ground-level retail space.
General contractor Spec Development is making progress on a new residential building at 2654 North Greenview Avenue in Lincoln Park. The City of Chicago issued a new construction permit for the property on March 8 of this year, but the demolition permit wasn’t issued until April 12, so work appears to be moving rather quickly on the double-lot site. The work is being performed for a developer listed on the permit as an LLC in Buffalo Grove.
