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.
Demolition of a greystone multi-unit residence at 707 West Briar Place in Lake View has wrapped, yielding the way to foundation work for a new four-story with basement condominium development. Developed and built by Ronan Construction, the building will hold six condos, topped by a roof deck. There will not be a detached garage, but six outdoor parking spaces will be available to condo owners. Michael Cox & Associates is the architect listed on the new construction permit, issued January 26 of this year.
Just two weeks after we saw demolition work getting started at 840 West Lill Avenue in Lincoln Park, foundation work for the new building has already begun at the site. Built in 1860 and apparently torn down in about the same number of minutes, the old edifice gives way to the new 1840 West Lill, a three-story with basement, two-unit luxury condominium building designed by Michael Cox and Associates and developed by Pro-Homes.
A new construction permit was issued July 23 to put a residential building on a small, overgrown lot at 1619 W Lawrence Avenue in Uptown. Located mid-block just west of the intersection of Ashland and Lawrence Avenues, the site has been fenced off for years without any activity. A three-flat previously on the property was demolished back in 2011.
