Demolition is ready to begin on a three-story frame residence at 4243 North Damen Avenue in the North Center neighborhood. The teardown will create space for a new three-story frame building with a pending construction permit on file.
At 3456 North Claremont Avenue in North Center, a two-unit frame residence has been surrounded by demolition fencing, after having just been sold this summer. According to real estate website Zillow, the home, built in 1892, sold in September for $625,000.
Ground-level construction progress continues for 3605 North Ravenswood in North Center. Everything we need to know about this new residential project is listed on the banner hanging from the construction fence. There will be 52 rental units across the six-story building (five stories plus rooftop access to the sixth-floor amenity deck) with 5,500 square feet of retail space at ground level. Co-developers Stocking Urban and Macon Construction Group, who is also the general contractor, plan to welcome their first tenants in the fall of 2025.
The residential development at 3914 North Lincoln Avenue has reached its ultimate height, as crews work on framing the set-back fifth and final floor of the North Center apartment project. Developer and general contractor Longford Design + Construction is delivering 68 rental units at this location, supported by ground-floor retail and 28 parking spaces. A significant amount of the brickwork has been completed; the next milestone should be installation of the first few windows on the exterior.
Zoning has been initially approved for the mixed-use developments at 3950 N Damen Avenue and 3959 N Lincoln Avenue in North Center. Earlier this year we covered the project’s revised details as it shed 40 units due to issues with the existing on-site bank, now the city’s Committee on Zoning has approved the new plans from developers Ravine Park Partners, Orchard Development, and Brinshore Development.
